London Museums Hub: Invitation to tender - Reviewing Machine Readable Labelling Systems for Collections Management and Access.

The London Museums Hub is inviting tenders to carry out this project which will review the use of machine readable labelling systems across the heritage sector and evaluate the benefits of this technology both as a collections management tool and as a means of providing user access to collections information. The study will focus on the use of machine readable technologies e.g. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and bar coding as methods to control object movements, update locations, enhance security and facilitate access to information associated with an object or collection of objects.

Deadline for written tender submissions is 10.00 am Friday 23rd November 2007. Please contact Sharon Robinson at the Museum of London on 020
