22.  On the basis of data collected by OD
Practitioner and Client,
 it was concluded that the
 Area which required the most attention were
of security of books( high ratio not disclosed)
 digital library (established but need
improvement)
 Online library at UOS.
( technology is available but not in proper use)

23. Library Security System:
Installation of RFID system (radio
frequency identification)
Digital and online library:
For the step of digital library, formation of a
computer lab comprising over 50
computers.
Establishment of an online library providing
access to all disciplines in UOS.

24. Radio frequency Identification
System:
 Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the
use of a wireless non-contact system that
uses radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields to transfer data from a tag attached
to an object, for the purposes of automatic
identification and tracking.
 Some tags require no battery and are
powered and read at short ranges via
magnetic fields (electromagnetic
induction). Others use a local power
source and emit radio waves.

25. This chip will be attached to any page on
book and a security gate at entrance,
when a book is stolen, security gate will
detect it quickly when it comes in contact
with.
Chip on an issued book will be off by the
system.
This will solve the issue of stolen books.

26. A database system is already established
at UOS library but only one PC is available
for use.
Our recommendation is to provide at least
50 computers for use of students.( based
upon record of per day visiting students in
library).

27. An online library is established but it
provides information only to medical and
engineering disciplines.
We propose that it must contain not only
books but also journals for all disciplines at
online library.
As it already has an infrastructure but a
need for improvement and change.
