From the author: Since 2002, radio frequency identification (RFID) systems have been installed in a growing number of Australian libraries. The institutions embracing the technology are to be found in the public, school and special library sectors. As of February 2008, no Australian academic library has installed a RFID system. This article briefly introduces RFID and outlines the benefits offered to libraries and suggests a range of factors that might contribute to the lack of the technology's penetration into the Australian academic library sector.
