Thanks, Galen, and excuses, I'm new to it, but in the information I've got related to 3M's SIP seems to be a vacuum related to something that suposedly has to handle the arrival of a defined message structure (f.e.): (...) Sample checkin message: 09<no block><transaction date><return date><current location><institution id><item identifier><terminal password><item properties><cancel> (...) My questions are (RFID related, I understand barcode is trivial): a) Is this whole streamline of message mapped to keyboard (key strokes)? b) What something knows when to start the process of and how to express the fact that a book appeared in the RFID range in a or a succession of koha form field/s?

I just was wandering if Koha 3 has done any integration with RFID and/or optical barcode readers, is already started, planned or is just a "wrap, wrap... doit yourself"?.
As far as I know, no special integration is required. Most RFID and barcode readers simply pass the barcode or RFID number to applications via the keyboard interface, so as long as items.barcode is wide enough to accommodate the longest numbering standard in use, nothing special is needed.
