SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON EMERGING TRENDS IN LIBRAR...

Near Field Communication is a radio frequency technology that allows objects  such as mobile
phones  computers  tags  or posters  to exchange information wirelessly across a small
distance. This report on the progress of Near Field Communication reviews the features and
functionality of the technology and summarizes the broad spectrum of its current and
anticipated applications. We explore the development of NFC technology in recent years 
introduce the major stakeholders in the NFC ecosystem  and project its movement toward
mainstream adoption. Several examples of early implementation of NFC in libraries are
highlighted  primarily involving the use of NFC to enhance discovery by linking books or other
physical objects with digital information about library resources  but also including
applications of NFC to collection management and self-checkout. Future uses of NFC in libraries
such as smart posters or other enhanced outreach  are envisioned as well as the potential for
the touch paradigm and Internet of things to transform the ways in which library users interact
with the information environment. Conscious of the privacy and security of our patrons  we also
address continuing concerns related to NFC technology and its expected applications 
recommending caution  awareness  and education as immediate next steps for librarians.
