The document summarizes the implementation of RFID technology at North Carolina State University Libraries. It outlines the timeline of the RFID project from 2011-2013. Key aspects included piloting an RFID-enabled open shelves collection and self-checkout stations. The implementation process involved tagging library materials with RFID tags encoded with identification data, installing RFID hardware like self-checkout kiosks and security gates, and training staff. While there were some initial concerns and challenges, the libraries have now fully integrated RFID technologies for circulation and security of materials.

RFID technology is taking off in libraries at an increasingly rapid pace. It is easy to envision that, the RFID tag contents will increase in power, prices are expected to decline and tag will dramatically improve its efficiency, security and accuracy.
RFID has become an integral part of Modern Day Libraries of Institutes.
From Book Issue- return to inventory taking and book security, RFID plays a vital role in day to day work of library staff and students.
The presentation describes how RFID can be implemented in library, features, benefits and components.

Materials Handling to Reduce Operating Costsloriayre
Co-presented this session with Alan Kirk Gray (Darien Library), Gretchen Freeman (Salt Lake County Library) and John Callahan (Palm Beach County Library). Session was sponsored by PLA. I provided the overview of the materials handling automation market and then each presenter talked about what they learned about how to reduce operating expenses as part of their implementation and operation of an automated materials handling system.
RFID Technology improves tracking of books & documents, significantly reduces management costs and increases the time that librarian spends with the patrons by enabling automated book handling at checkins, checkouts,book sorting etc.
The key challenge for librarians today is to improve customer services and provide
Patrons with a pleasant experience when searching and browsing books. RFID
Technology significantly reduces management costs and increases the time that
Librarians spend with patrons by enabling automated book handling at check-ins,
Check-outs, collections inventories, book sorting and theft deterrence. RFID plays vital
Role in redefining the library process to make everyone’s job easier right from patron
To library staff
TOPIC:
RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION(RFID)
Basically RFID is a tag dissimilar to barcode that contains a small memory element which is used to store the information required about the particular element on which the RFID tag is placed.
Eg:
While passing through a toll plaza a vehicle uses a tag which is read or scanned by the cameras so that to avoid wastage of time
The RFIDS are also placed on books in libraries for knowing the information about the book.

Uses radiofrequency waves to transfer data between a reader and a movable item to identify, categorize & track.
Is fast and does not require physical sight or contact between reader/scanner and the tagged item.
Performs the operation using low cost components.
Attempts to provide unique identification and backend integration that allows for wide range of applications.
Radio frequency identification(RFID) technology using at various application by using radio frequency ranges.
It is especially used at tollgates. For automation of gate control.
It can also used at library systems.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
