DLA is a handheld device which utilises Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to provide a highly effective tool for managing your library collection. The DLA can perform multiple tasks at the same time, such as:

 

• Searching for missing, reserved, and misplaced items.

 

• Weeding grubby or old stock.

 

• Identifying unissued titles.

 

• Checking security status.

 

• Sorting items for shelving.

 

• Checking shelf order.

 

• Counting stock.
