ISO 28560-1:2011 pdf free download – Information and documentation一RFID in libraries -一 Part 1: Data elements and general guidelines for implementation.
Groups of libraries may also agree on a profile in order to support certain business models. These libraries are not necessarily grouped on a regional basis. International ILL schemes of academic libraries are an example. Regional profiles may also have the character of business profiling when they support certain business processes, for example automatic processing of acquisition items.
EXAMPLE 1 For interlibrary loans (ILL), in most cases a set is required with:
Primary item identifier
Owner institution (ISIL)
This is required to make the item globally unique and recognisable as not belonging to the library’s own collection by the receiving ILL institution.
EXAMPLE 2 For interlibrary loans, an even larger set can be agreed:
Primary item identifier
Owner institution (ISIL)
ILL borrowing institution (ISIL), for item on loan via ILL
ILL borrowing transaction number, for item on loan via ILL
EXAMPLE 3 When new acquisitions are tagged by the jobber, the set of data elements agreed between jobber and library may be:
Supplier identifier
Order number
An automatic system in the library will recognise that the item is a new item, for example because the primary identifier element is still empty. The primary item identifier is added to the tag and if desirable, the data elements that relate to the acquisition process are removed.
EXAMPLE 4 For these new acquisitions tagged by the jobber the set may be larger:
Supplier identifier
Order number
GS1 product identifier
Supply chain stage
The website given in Annex A can provide more detailed examples of profiles that have been implemented, including some profiles in systems not conforming to ISO 28560.
8 Privacy issues
Because ISO 28560 is likely to be implemented in different legal domains, it is not possible to provide detailed advice about privacy with respect to national laws. Also, the nature of the relationship between the patron and the library can have implications for the application of privacy laws. For example, employees in a company-based library have different privacy concerns than citizens using a public library.
As a general rule, no personal data (either direct or indirect) that identifies an individual patron should be encoded on the RFID tag affixed to a library item.
9 Implementation and migration
9.1 New RFID implementations
Any library that has yet to introduce REID and that is not subject to any regional REID implementation strategy or advice should give consideration to the use of ISO 28560. Depending on the time that the implementation is being considered, particularly immediately after publication of ISO 28560, vendors might be at incomplete stages of their development and support for ISO 28560. In situations where not all features are supported but are considered essential for the library system, the institution should seek a development path and timetable from the vendor.
Once ISO 28560 becomes widely adopted, there will be an increasing choice particularly of RFID devices that are compliant with ISO 28560. New devices should be interoperable with any existing devices installed in accordance with ISO 28560.
9.2 Migration for regional models
Before the publication of ISO 28560, some implementations of RFID item management in libraries were subject to regional implementation strategies. It might be expected that in this case, the decision or advice to migrate to ISO 28560 should not be taken by an individual library, but on the basis of a regional implementation strategy. This is certainly needed when tagging of new acquisitions is not executed by an individual library but by one or more jobbers with a large scale impact in the region.
The decision to migrate to a data model based on ISO 28560 depends on many economic and operational considerations that are beyond the scope of ISO 28560. Some of the factors that will influence change are whether vendors are offering features in applications that are considered beneficial, or whether jobbers are prepared to supply items with RFID labels fixed and even encoded.
