Abstract
The last few years have seen a significant increase in the number of smartphones equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) capabilities. NFC utilises several technologies that will allow a user’s Smartphone to interact with a range of other devices in ways that further expand the Smartphone’s utility and capability. The technology paves the way for smartphones to interact both positively and negatively with library RFID tags. This paper outlines the capabilities and penetration of NFC-equipped smartphones, and discusses a range of mitigation strategies that might be available to libraries where the threat aspect of NFC is of concern.

Abstract
This paper provides an update on the status of the new ISO data model standard for libraries and explores some of the issues facing Australian libraries wishing to maximise the benefits offered by the new standard. The potential for data profiles to add value in the interoperability context is explored, as are the complexities involved with mixed data profiles at the point of circulation. Some suggested guidelines for the selection of data elements under the standard are also offered for consideration.

Abstract
This paper explores practical issues of interest to libraries in two specific areas affecting RFID technology implementation the development of ISO standardisation and the debate over future technology platforms. Australian libraries are interested in knowing how they may plan for the emerging standardisation of the RFID tag data model and what this standardisation might mean for existing RFID systems. There is also growing debate about the relative merits of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID systems, and whether this technology might form a future basis for library RFID systems.
