Ann Flynn : UTS Library

LoF / LRS / RFID

LoF : 2017 LRS = UTS’ ASRS : 2014 RFID : 2011-2012 Large projects: collection-scale activities

2Millennium for RFID & ASRS

25% : open access 75% : underground robotic store = LRS

LRS Capacity: 950,000 items

Millennium for RFID

Scoping - for tender, contract, etc :large review filestest server – sandpit

RFID-tagging the collection :Review files – tag types, e.g. racetracks,

donutsData extract for conversion :

○ barcodes RFID tags

Millennium for RFID, cont. Preparation for RFID tagging serial

volumes :○ Conversion to RFID relies on barcodes○ Print serials previously not barcoded○ Automated batch process designed to create

variable numbers of item records for each serial title

Using Millennium to prepare for RFID-tagging of serials

Data is exported

A program modifies the

exported data

MillenniumOutside of Millennium

Millennium

Required number of item records

created for each serial bib record.

Data passes through a new load

table & item record

template

Millennium for LRS Collection analyses:

to inform LRS design to plan logistics of

moving collections for collection reviews,

rationalisation & relegation

Review files to measure size of collections – by campus, material types, rare books, etc.

Millennium for RFID & ASRS 7

Millennium for LRS, cont

Height of books - tote bin size indicator MARC300 |c

Coding for control in underground store :retention indicatorLRS code

What else are we doing to prepare for LoF / LRS /RFID? Experimenting with new programs, new

spaces, new furniture, etc.

What else are we doing? Enhancing our discovery system viz virtual

browsing for serendipitous discovery of books in underground storevirtual bookshelves created dynamically on

keyword searches, facets and tag cloud terms, with ability to browse content through Google Books Preview

Building research collections & promoting them via our discovery system (facets – MARC 590)

Thanks!
