Abstract

The National Library Board (NLB) was established on September 1, 1995 to spearhead the transformation of library services in Singapore in the Information Age. On November 21, 1998, the first application of radio-frequency identification technology was fully deployed in a library environment (Bukit Batok Community Library). By May 2002, 20 libraries were fully equipped with RFID technology enabling the customers to borrow and to return media at any library. The application also had its own supply chain for tagging and re-tagging library items. By 2006, the number of libraries employing RFID had increased to 39 (1 National Library, 3 Regional Libraries, 19 Community Libraries and 16 Children Community Libraries), serving the Singapore population of about 4.35 million. April 14, 2006 marks the end of the first generation RFID library system when all 39 libraries were upgraded with the second generation system.
