Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems announced in June 2008 that Max Planck Institute for European History of Law, a prominent German research institution, will be the first to implement the latest in long-term RFID asset management technology. The library has chosen Longlife RFID labels from Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems, based on the recently launched ICODE SLI-SY chip from NXP. This product offers a guaranteed 40-year data lifespan to produce a robust solution which offers long-term data integrity.

The internationally renowned Max Planck Institute for European History of Law Library provides an archive of 320,000 assets. “The Max Planck Institute Library in Frankfurt houses one of the most important collections of historic primary resources and secondary literature about the development of European Law,” said Dr. Sigrid Amedick, library director of the Max-Planck-Institute for European History of Law. “It is therefore essential that we maintain the collection for future generations. This is why it’s essential that the library’s stock maintenance system should have longevity and be based on trusted technology that is secure and easy to use.”

Bibliotheca RFID Library Systems – internationally known for its leading RFID library technology – has initiated the development of this innovative solution to respond to the needs of contemporary libraries.
The use of high-quality paper and pH-neutral adhesive bond prevents degradation of documents to which the labels are attached, making labels easily to detach without leaving any residue. This is key for old and valuable collections of material.

Designed specifically for use within library and archive environments, Bibliotheca’s new Archive and Longlife Labels are ideal for academic libraries, government, legal and medical archives.
Having the Max-Planck Institute for European History of Law choose the solution clearly demonstrates the senior position Bibliotheca holds within the Library RFID solutions market place.
