New Library (already)

Oooh, talk about slack! Since I’ve been at Yarra I’ve posted 5 blog posts. That should equate to nearly one a month, but seeing as the last one was July…it doesn’t. Now, at prompting from Heather about being slack, here’s

RFID self-check machines

I have been analysing our brand new RFID self-check machine that we are planning to install at our latest library to be RFID’d. It is quite interesting how the different vendors program their RFID machines to work. I know that
