How are multi-part items tagged?
The library may decide to use only one RFID tag per item, regardless of how many parts that item may include. If it does so, it may tag the case or one of the parts. (We recommend that the last part of a set be tagged since that is the one most likely to be left in the patrons player.) If individual item parts are uniquely identified in the librarys circulation database, they may be individually tagged and identified with their item identification numbers. If the librarys circulation database is not set up to uniquely identify the individual item parts, it still is possible to include information in the tag indicating, for example, part 1 of a 4 part set. Doing so secures each part independently and informs the library or patron if all parts of a multi-part set are present at the time of check-out and check-in.
