3. INTRODUCTION
The key challenge for librarians today is to improve customer services and provide
Patrons with a pleasant experience when searching and browsing books. RFID
Technology significantly reduces management costs and increases the time that
Librarians spend with patrons by enabling automated book handling at check-ins,
Check-outs, collections inventories, book sorting and theft deterrence. RFID plays vital
Role in redefining the library process to make everyone’s job easier right from patron
To library staff

4. WHY RFID FOR
LIBRARY?
Fastest, easiest, most efficient way
to track, locate & manage library
materials
Efficient Book circulation
management
Automatic Check-in and Check-out
Library inventory tracking in
minutes instead of hours
Multiple books can be read
simultaneously
Unique ID of the RFID tag prevents
counterfeiting
Automated material handling using
conveyor & sorting systems

5. RFID Benefits
Stock management
Libraries…
Operations such as managing material on the shelves, identifying
missing & mishelved items are streamlined and taking stocks regularly
will be feasible
Improved patron services
Spending minimal time on circulation operations allows library staff to
assist patrons
Routine patron services are not disturbed even when libraries are
facing staff shortages & budget cuts
Flexibility and modularity
Ability to add newer products and features as finances and customer
needs dictate
Security
Library item identification & security bit is combined into a single tag,
there by eliminating the need to attach an additional security strip

6. RFID Benefits
Library Staff…
Less time needed for circulation operations
Implementing RFID will considerably reduce the amount of time required
to issue, receive, transport, sort & shelve library materials
Efficient Inventory management
Inventory management can be done using a handheld reader without
closing the library and is at least 20 times faster compared to existing
barcode based system
Reducing Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
RFID based system reduces repetitive scanning of individual items at
the circulation desk during check in, check out and hence avoids RSI such
as carpal tunnel syndrome
Taking inventory in a RFID based system doesn’t require physical
deshelving & shelving of library materials

7. RFID Benefits
Patrons…
Patrons will spend less time waiting in check-out lines by using Self
Check in - Check out systems
Patrons find what they are looking for quickly & easily
Reminders for due dates allows patrons to submit borrowed materials in
time
Use of book drops & return chutes for returning library material, allows
for flexible timings
RFID enabled patron cards allows for easy patron identification
