With the RFID tags you can scan bookshelves and find misfiled books more quickly, example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_ntzPydU7I

Stefan- 
 
Shelf Reading (going row by row of books and making sure nothing has been misfiled) is one way that libraries can find books that have been placed on the wrong shelf. I work at an academic library, and this is a task assigned to our student workers.

My library has also  just recently conducted an inventory where each book was scanned into a computer, and then books which were missing were identified and either repurchased or removed from the catalog. Again, student labor here :)
