RFID (radio frequency identification) technology embeds identifying information in tags that can be read from a distance by wireless readers. While RFID improves efficiency in applications like distribution and inventory management by allowing bulk reading of tags, it also poses privacy and security risks. Criminals could use RFID readers to steal personal data from IDs and credit cards without the owner's knowledge. Protections need to be designed to prevent unauthorized access to RFID tags containing private information.
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification and uses radio waves to automatically identify objects. RFID is being used increasingly in libraries to speed up processes like check-in, check-out, and provide security benefits like theft detection. The key components of an RFID system include RFID tags embedded in objects like books, readers to read the tags, antennas to transmit radio signals, and a server to communicate between components and the library database. RFID provides advantages to libraries like rapid charging/discharging of materials, simplified self-check systems, increased accuracy and efficiency, and theft reduction capabilities.
Barcodes and RFID are technologies used in libraries to automate materials handling processes. Barcodes have been used for decades but have limitations, while RFID allows for contactless scanning and tracking of items. RFID tags contain identifying information and security bits that can trigger alarms, but have disadvantages of higher costs and potential privacy concerns. Both barcodes and RFID have roles to play in libraries, as RFID adoption increases but barcodes remain necessary for backups and certain materials that RFID cannot scan. Standards are still developing for library RFID use.
This document presents a project on an RFID-based library management system. It discusses using RFID technology to allow for fast and efficient book circulation, automatic check-in/out, and inventory tracking. The technical specifications and hardware components are described, including an RFID reader module, MAX232 chip, and At89c52 microcontroller. Different types of RFID tags are also outlined. The benefits of the system are improved services, security, and low cost automated operations. In conclusion, RFID technology is increasing in libraries and expected to improve efficiency and accuracy as prices decline.
RFID technology can be used to manage library resources more efficiently. An RFID system for a library involves tagging each item with an RFID chip, installing RFID readers, and using software to track lending and returning of items. This allows patrons to borrow and return books on their own using self-checkout kiosks. It also helps library staff save time on tasks like sorting returns by letting them scan multiple items at once. However, some privacy concerns exist regarding tracking of patron behavior that librarians must address through policy.

Wnl 160 introducing rfid technology by anupamKishor Satpathy
Paper Presented during International Conference on What’s next in libraries? Trends, Space, and partnerships held during January 21-23, 2015 at NIT Silchar, Assam. It is being jointly organized by NIT Silchar, in association with its USA partner the Mortenson Center for International Library Programs, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is the wireless use of electromagnetic fields to transfer data, for the purposes of automatically identifying and tracking tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically stored information. Some tags are powered by electromagnetic induction from magnetic fields produced near the reader. Some types collect energy from the interrogating radio waves and act as a passive transponder. Other types have a local power source such as a battery and may operate at hundreds of meters from the reader. Unlike a barcode, the tag does not necessarily need to be within line of sight of the reader and may be embedded in the tracked object. RFID is one method for Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC).[1]
RFID tags are used in many industries. For example, an RFID tag attached to an automobile during production can be used to track its progress through the assembly line; RFID-tagged pharmaceuticals can be tracked through warehouses; and implanting RFID microchips in livestock and pets allows positive identification of animals.
Since RFID tags can be attached to cash, clothing, and possessions, or implanted in animals and people, the possibility of reading personally-linked information without consent has raised serious privacy concerns.[2]
In 2014, the world RFID market is worth $8.89 billion, up from $7.77 billion in 2013 and $6.96 billion in 2012. This includes tags, readers, and software/services for RFID cards, labels, fobs, and all other form factors. The market value is expected to rise to $27.31 billion by 2024.[3]
The document discusses RFID technology and its applications. It begins with listing group members Ahmed Fawzi, Abdel Nasser Heshmat, and Mostafa Fouad. The presentation will cover what RFID is, how an RFID system works, types of RFID tags, how RFID works internally, and applications of RFID such as logistics and supply chain visibility, race timing, attendee tracking, access control, laundry management, and real-time location systems. RFID systems use radio frequency waves to read and capture information stored on tags attached to objects and are made up of tags with microchips and antennas and readers with transceivers and microprocessors.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that uses radio waves to electronically identify objects. An RFID system consists of tags attached to objects, readers to interrogate tags, and middleware. Tags can be active with an internal power source or passive, deriving power from reader signals. RFID provides benefits over barcodes like contactless identification of multiple tags and greater reading ranges. While RFID adoption has increased in applications like supply chain management and asset tracking, issues remain around costs, standardization, and privacy/security concerns.
The rapid development in an information technology has brought out a revolutionary change in the field of library system and services.The new information technology has changed the manual scenario of library to computerized automated library.

Here are the answers to your questions:
1. The main differences between RFID and barcodes are:
- RFID uses radio waves to transmit data while barcodes use optical scanning. RFID does not require line of sight.
- RFID tags can be read from a distance without physical contact while barcodes must be within the line of sight of a scanner.
- RFID tags can be read/written to multiple times while barcodes are read-only.
- RFID tags can store more information than barcodes.
2. Some practical applications of RFID include supply chain management, asset tracking, access control and authentication, livestock identification, toll collection on roads/bridges, library management systems, etc
Fixed RFID readers are typically used in retail businesses to track inventory and shipments in a warehouse or distribution center. They are stationary and can be mounted on walls or ceilings to capture data from RFID tags as they pass by. Fixed RFID readers are ideal for businesses that need to track large volumes of inventory and shipments, and they can help improve inventory accuracy and supply chain visibility.
Handheld RFID readers, on the other hand, are typically used in retail businesses to track inventory and shipments on the sales floor. They are portable and can be carried by employees to capture data from RFID tags on items as they are moved and sold. Handheld RFID readers are ideal for businesses that need to track inventory in real-time, and they can help improve the customer experience by providing faster checkout times and enabling self-checkout.
This document provides an overview of RFID technology and its potential implementation in libraries. It discusses the history and components of RFID systems, including tags, readers, middleware, and databases. The document outlines the benefits of RFID for inventory management, security, and customer satisfaction in libraries.

While RFID has been used for security and self-checkout, its development has often been supplier-driven without input from librarians. Standards have been slow to adopt and interoperability between library systems is still limited. However, new initiatives like the Library Communication Framework and interest in mobile apps could help overcome barriers and lead to bigger changes, with librarians playing a bigger role in determining the future of RFID.
2012 Library RFID Survey - report to IFLA/WLICMichael Fortune
The document summarizes the results of a 2012 global survey on the use of RFID in libraries. Over 450 responses were received from 19 countries. Key findings included that the majority of respondents were from the UK, US, and Australia. Most libraries were using HF frequencies, and have had RFID for 3-5 years. The top reasons for adoption were security and self-check. The survey revealed uses of RFID beyond what was originally imagined and a lack of integration between systems. It concluded more coverage is needed in future surveys.
Examines key considerations when creating an RFP for RFID procurement in a library. Should be viewed in conjunction with NAG/BIC Guidelines document - free from www.libraryrfid.co.uk
The UK library RFID market has grown slowly since first being deployed in 1998. While demand for self-service has increased, interoperability between library management systems and RFID systems has been limited. In 2009-2010, surveys found over 150 active UK library sites using RFID, mainly for security and self-checkout. Frustrations with the SIP protocol led to developing a new UK communications standard in 2010 to improve functionality and allow more data sharing between systems. The new standard is being tested and aims to support both existing and new applications while allowing greater collaboration between libraries.

4. What exactly is RFID?
Radio Frequency IDentification
• Uses radio to access data stored on ‘chips’
over distance.
• Read/Write
• Chips are attached to “form factors” (which

may be a label, a card - or even a person)
• Libraries usually call them “tags”

6. …to manage very different
things
• Road Tolls
• Travelcards
• Drug security
• Passports
Library RFID
• Even cats
11. Comparing barcodes with RFID
• Barcode
– Used only for identification (within a single library)
– Processes items one at a time
– Mostly for circulation
• RFID
Library RFID
– Used in national inter-lending schemes
– Combines security and circulation (and more)
– Multiple item processing
– Can carry many pieces of information
– Used for many library operations
12. Building a library RFID application
is different
• Most non-library RFID solutions are “stand
alone”
– Designed to solve a particular problem or
deliver a specific service
• However most library solutions connect to
Library RFID
another application.
– Example: an LMS/ILS

14. But things are changing…
rapidly
• New ways to connect LMS/RFID
– SIP 3.0/NCIP
• Was 3M, now NISO
– BLCF
• UK initiative – interest in USA
• New data standards (published 2011)
Library RFID
– More ‘open’ market
– Greater competition
– Faster development – new applications
18. Think about…
• Integrate or stand alone?
• Choosing your radio frequency
• Using data standards?
•
Library RFID
Interoperability
19. Advantages of integration
• Greater consistency of rules and policies
• Access to existing database and
applications
• Easier to maintain of database integrity
• Staff mediation if system fails
Library RFID
20. Choosing your radio frequency
• UHF
– Long range characteristic is both good and
bad
– Currently does not support data standards
– Cheaper tags
Library RFID
• HF
– Most popular with libraries worldwide
– Supports data standards
– Greater precision
21. Advantages of using data
standards
• National data models have been agreed
for many countries – most are based on
ISO 28560
• Guarantees future transferability of
solutions between providers
Library RFID
• Allows you to take advantage of new
developments, and to use different
applications and hardware from different
suppliers
22. Interoperability
• To work with other RFID solutions you will need
to know:
– What standards are being used for data storage/radio
communications/integration?
– What data model is being used (is it
national/proprietary)?
Library RFID
• To work with other library applications you will
need to consider
– How data is transferred? (communications protocols)
– What information is being used?
(data protocols)
23. Summary
• RFID is a relatively simple technology with
some relatively complex issues
• Recent changes have helped reduce risks
and maximise opportunities
• Don’t consider RFID in isolation – need to
Library RFID
think about integration/interoperability –
the big picture!
• Help is available!

Editor's Notes
Most library RFID operates at 13.56MHz (usually called ‘HF’) but some in Asia and Australia have opted for UHF – which doesn’t do self-service well and doesn’t support a data model. Smart cards use a different frequency again.
