| Navigating the RFID Journal Site |
| I'm new to RFID, and there's so much information on the RFID Journal site. Where do I start? |
We've created a section called Getting Started, accessed by clicking on the button in the left-hand navigation bar, to help people get up to speed quickly on RFID. It walks you through the basics of the technology, standards, and applications and how to build a business case and develop an RFID strategy.

| How is RFID Journal organized? |
All news stories, features, case studies and vendor profiles are posted on our home page. RFID Journal articles are also organized and archived in two ways -- by story type (news, opinion, guest columns, feature, case study, special report and vendor profile) and by subject (Distribution/Logistics, Innovation, IT/Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Packaging/Labeling, Payment Systems, Retailing, Security, and Supply Chain).
You can click on the News, Opinion, Features, Case Studies, Special Reports or Vendor Profiles in the left-hand navigation bar to find all of the stories (regardless of the subject) that we've published in that category. If you're interested in a specific topic, such as Retailing, click on Topics under the search field at the top of every page and click on Retailing. You will come to a Contents page that lists one featured retailing story and the categories under which all other retailing stories are organized. Click on News or Case Studies, and you will find a list of all the retailing news stories or case studies that we've published.
