The idea is neat, but I'm thinking visual identification with apps for shelf-reading in a university library is not going to ever be easy. I am interested in seeing RFID tagging evolve to the point where each book has a designated place on the bookshelf and by waving RFID reading wands over shelves it will indicate when a book is mis-shelved according to its electronic location. Easier than an app and would be less about visual mistakes and more about RFID tagging mistakes.Audrey Miller Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390229922348905287noreply@blogger.com
