Digital technologies have become very firmly established in our lives and today they are present in almost all spheres of human activity, and cultural and educational is no exception. Over the past few months, news more and more often informs about the opening of the next “library of a new generation”, “library of the future”, library automation. Today, all of these concepts are strongly associated with the introduction of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, which helps libraries achieve the main goal of attracting as many readers as possible, while maintaining a high level of satisfaction with the institution.
In the Russian State Library, the first project for the implementation of a radio frequency identification system was implemented in 2010 by specialists of the RST-Invent company in the Central Subsidiary Fund. This project has become an example to follow for a huge number of federal, regional and other libraries.
