[NHCOLL-L:4372] Barcodes vs. RFID's

[Del Re, Christine]

We at MPM would like to know which other museums are now using barcodes,
or RFID's on/in individual collection items?  Does anyone favor one
system over the other?  Also, for those using barcodes, is the
preference to link a generic barcode number to an artifact via a data
base, or to make the barcode the actual artifact number?

 

Any thoughts or references would be appreciated

 

Chris
