Abstract
New technologies have always been of interest for libraries, both for the potential of increasing the quality of service and for improving efficiency of operations. At present libraries of all kinds whether public, research or special libraries are overwhelmingly looking forward to adopt new technologies due to its potential for cost savings in the operations and the management of books and patrons. One such technology which is gaining tremendous popularity among the various libraries is RFID technology since it revolutionizes the way a library operates.
Radio frequency Identification (RFID) is a rapidly emerging technology .It uses electromagnetic waves to identify and detect tracked objects. It is a method of Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC).
RFID enables faster transactions with additional features of security and traceability .Tags contain electronically stored information which are read by the RFID reader that contains a RF module for transmitting and receiving RF signals.
The reader interrogates the tag using this RF module and obtains the stored electronic information.RFID in libraries enable faster issue, return and renewal of books with minimal manual intervention. In our project books are tagged. Students are also provided with tags which permit them to use the library.
The books and students are identified using RFID tags issued to them. Issue, return and renewal of books are performed on key press basis based on choice of the student every time the book is read by the RFID reader. The messages corresponding to permission of student into the library, issue, return and renewal of books are displayed on the LCD.
