“Now, librarians at the Vatican Library are using cutting-edge technology to keep track of the priceless ancient collection.
About 30,000 books have been tagged with radio frequency identification (RFID) chips since implementation of the technology began last year.
Two million of the 40-million piece collection will be tagged in the near future, allowing staff to complete the library’s annual inventory in less than a day, something that previously forced it to close for a whole month.”
