I have code for this. It works basically like you describe, although I note that reading tags on electronic kit is a bit of a pain. Even DVDs will shield some tags, so choose carefully. The last release was for 3.0, which is just being end-of-lifed. It needs updating for 3.4 and the recent ISO standard for RFID tags, but is already in use by at least one library. I plan to be updating it for 3.4 and then 3.6 as soon as funding is agreed. It will go quicker with either help or additional funding. Do you have either?
