NAME

    Biblio::RFID - perl tools to use different RFID readers for library use

DESCRIPTION

    Main idea is to develop simple API to reader, and than provide useful
    abstractions on top of it to quickly write applications to respond on
    tags which come in range of RFID reader using Biblio::RFID::Reader.

    Writing support for new RFID readers should be easy.
    Biblio::RFID::Reader::API provides documentation on writing support for
    different readers.

    Currently, two serial RFID readers based on
    Biblio::RFID::Reader::Serial are implemented:

      * Biblio::RFID::Reader::3M810

      * Biblio::RFID::Reader::CPRM02

    There is also simple read-only reader using shell commands in
    Biblio::RFID::Reader::librfid.

    For implementing application take a look at Biblio::RFID::Reader

    scripts/RFID-JSONP-server.pl is example of such application. It's local
    interface to RFID reader and JSONP REST server.

    examples/koha-rfid.js is jQuery based JavaScript code which can be
    inserted in Koha Library System to provide overlay with tags in range
    and check-in/check-out form-fill functionality.

    Applications can use Biblio::RFID::RFID501 which is some kind of
    semi-standard 3M layout or blocks on RFID tags.
