Markham, Ont. - The Toronto Public Library system has implemented a pilot project to place radio frequency identification tags on books in two of its libraries and set up self-checkout kiosks. Currently, about 70 to 80 per cent of users take advantage of the self checkout capability, said Patricia Eastman of the Toronto Public Library at the recent 2006 Canadian RFID Conference.
