Not sure how much such a solution would cost, but you could then just issue a "tell me who's here" command to your bookshelf and get a list of books siting there. There's a setup time (have to put rfid tag on all of the books and match book->tag in a db somewhere). Afterwards, it's all gravy. (NOTE: I've not (yet?) actually done this myself. ;)physicowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296009277449147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-13234955738368722092009-07-12T15:07:53.035-05:002009-07-12T15:07:53.035-05:00Given the current state of a job market I wonder w...Given the current state of a job market I wonder why there is an "unusual number of students graduate"? <br />Where did they find jobs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-6168583403585991372009-07-07T11:33:15.736-05:002009-07-07T11:33:15.736-05:00bar codes! it's cheap and easy now! and studen...bar codes! it's cheap and easy now! and students can even do it themselves! <br /><br />also, maybe some solace that apparently you got by just fine without these things for 4-5 years: maybe you don't really need them anymore? <br /><br />i'm always pleased when students want a book at all. books are so last-century.Ms.PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542602867472447035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-81359815267490209902009-07-06T10:17:12.021-05:002009-07-06T10:17:12.021-05:00I like everything to be organized and in its place...I like everything to be organized and in its place sometimes to a fault. I read somewhere that a frequent way small companies go under is when they start some massive overhaul of a product they have. Its never worth the time and money. So I've learned to live with a mess all academic year and do some spring cleaning in the summer months only.Meadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922827724363185027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-63497743737320940822009-07-06T09:59:16.491-05:002009-07-06T09:59:16.491-05:00Hee!

I found that with 2 assistant research scientists, 3 grad students, and 2 undergrad students, I was in constant "manager mode" and had no first author manuscripts submitted during the school year.
