next big trends: a librarian’s field guide to near field communication
DESCRIPTION
A presentation by Sheli McHugh and Kristen Yarmey at Internet Librarian 2011 in Monterey, California. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a new technology that allows devices such as cell phones to transmit information wirelessly across a small distance. While it has many commercial applications (e.g., using your smartphone as a credit card at the grocery store), NFC could also have future applications for libraries as a new way to link physical materials with digital information. Placing particular attention on cataloging, metadata, and circulation, this presentation will discuss potential strategies for utilizing NFC in libraries, from peer to peer loaning to embedding catalog records in books.TRANSCRIPT

What is NFC? (Near Field Communication)
![Page 6: Next Big Trends: A Librarian’s Field Guide to Near Field Communication](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052908/55953c141a28abcf268b45d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is NFC?
A way for devices to transmit and receive
information wirelessly
at close range
![Page 7: Next Big Trends: A Librarian’s Field Guide to Near Field Communication](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052908/55953c141a28abcf268b45d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How does it work?
Initiator (read/write mode)
Target

Why do we need this? We already have Bluetooth. And WiFi. And QR codes.
![Page 12: Next Big Trends: A Librarian’s Field Guide to Near Field Communication](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052908/55953c141a28abcf268b45d3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Maybe we do need this.
“a game changer”
“the biggest shift in technology since the iPhone”
“from smartphones to to superphones”

The dark side
• NFC may change the way our patrons interact with information
• Awareness and education
![Page 32: Next Big Trends: A Librarian’s Field Guide to Near Field Communication](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052908/55953c141a28abcf268b45d3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Security and privacy
• Mobile payment – Can be secure than a magnetic strip on a
credit card
• User responsibilities • Vulnerabilities at all levels: phone, app,
OS, tag…
