RFID is an inevitable technology in libraries, both for financial and humane reasons. Librarians have the best of intentions with respect to use of RFID in libraries, but these intentions must now be conditioned with much better knowledge and more rigorous action. Librarians should put special emphasis on protecting user privacy, disclosure (alerting patrons of the use of RFID), accountability (taking responsibility for the outcomes of RFID), and security. The library profession must be encouraged to develop best practices on an accelerated timetable, to work with other organizations in developing guiding principles, and to promulgate its advice as widely as possible to model privacy-friendly RFID practices.
