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. In the era of globalisation and liberalisation and with the advent of hi-technologies, the whale world has been condensed in a very small frame. With enormous knowledge explosion, the need to quench the thirst of information cannot be over emphasized. Barcode made inventory tracking easier, but they have their disadvantages. For starts each barcode has to be read in individually by the reader. If an entire well stocked information Centre needed to be checked in to a computer, it could mean several hours of work. Furthermore, the basic barcode is just a tag with data printed on it, and this data can’t be updated. Except, of course by sticking another barcode over it. Where Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags come in takes asset tracking to the next level, with smart intelligent tags embedded in the package, the information on the tag can be scanned and updated automatically by readers. RFID married with today’s enterprise resource planning solutions, may soon be the next big thing in information management. The technology provides an automated method to collect product or transaction information. The RFID system works using “smart” tags, with inbuilt silicon chips that store data, a reader that scans information from the tags, and the infrastructure to store and analyse the data. This present paper will give you an understanding of how technology can impact on our libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1100 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is not a new system but the base of this was established way back in 1940s. The credit goes to commercial or business organizations who have explored and implemented RFID to acquire, manage and provide security to their products or items. Information and Communication Technology has transformed the format of information and work culture of libraries. Still libraries are trying to address various problems like qualitative information management, speedy acquisition and dissemination of information and security of information products. This paper gives brief idea about the RFID, its importance in the library system, how it works and describes different components of the RFID technology. It also briefs about tentative budget to establish RFID technology in the library and finally its future in Indian libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1422 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Libraries are using cutting edge item level RFID technology in a closed loop system. Today, more and more libraries are adopting RFID as it streamlines workflow in the area of self service, book returns, shelf management and inventory. The potential benefits of using RFID in libraries from the perspective of its main stake holders- the organization; library staff and its patrons shall be highlighted. The paper discusses underline NCIP standards development, practical issues related to RFID working in a library environment and touch upon basic RFID issues concerning equipment maintenance & support; software compatibility; privacy and standardization. Real potential of RFID as a cross-institution platform for identification will be limited by use of proprietary RFID systems and hence recommends system integrators, vendors and libraries to adopt standards & follow best practices guidelines issued by NISO for use of RFID in Libraries.

Abstract: This paper introduce the structure and application theorem of the RFID system, discuss application models and issues when implement the RFID system. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been used in libraries. These applications can lead to significant savings in staff costs, enhance service, prevent book theft and easy to stock verification, provide a constant update of library collections, holding management, but also attain real-time services. Due to the issues about reliability, insufficient, interfere with noise, cost and without killer application, therefore major library only experiment with RFID for holding management. RFID provided with these characters of batch access, storage mass data, and reprogram that were barcode cannot archive. Integrate both parent and holding with functions of RFID to extend various application. Just replace barcode and magnetic strip then archive there advantages for book identification, for the sorting and conveying of library books and AV materials, not only realize precise. The most important issue is that libraries can use nonproprietary systems today because the new generation of RFID chips with the ISO standard 15693 is available.

Abstract: Radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID) are increasingly used in libraries for automation of repetitive work such as lending or returning of items. The ability of RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) to read multiple tags at once and ability to read without line of site reduces repetitive tasks. RFID enables more rapid updating of the library database enabling improved availability and circulation. Libraries, schools, the government, and private sector businesses are adopting radio frequency identification tags, or RFIDs - a technology that can be used to pinpoint the physical location of whatever item the tags are embedded in. The present paper is an attempt to describe major features of RFID technology, its benefits over barcode system, basic components and optional components with their effect on library system. Authors describe in the article, RFID is a boon for librarians as It further highlights the key functions of RFID in libraries like shelf charging –discharging, reliability, high speed inventorying, automated materials handling etc. and disadvantages like high cost, accessibility to compromise, reader collision, tag collision, and lack of standards. The paper also discusses the recent developments in RFID Systems as well as next generation use of RFID. The paper throws light on RFID initiatives in India. At the end some recommendations regarding the implementation of RFID System in libraries have been listed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1112 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: There is nothing new in RFID for whom where inventory control and distribution work is more important than anything else. But it is defiantly new for the people working in the library and information science field. Ever more sophisticated functionality and new applications characterize this dynamic technology. All communities such as publishers, booksellers, libraries have a stake in identifying new standards that will support continued innovation and interoperability and allow maximum flexibility in developing new applications for both customers and vendors. In this paper authors have explored how RFID tags in libraries offer the possibility of increasing in productivity greatly and hold a promise of better service for the patrons.

Abstract: RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is proven to be a promising alternative in relieving the library staff from time-consuming routines. RFID is an innovative automated library system for automatic identification and tracking of library material. An automated library with the support of RFID technology would be a “Booksmart Library” and a “self service station” that insists least intervention by library personnel. RFID technology is helpful in taking inventory, finding missing items and identifying misfiled items. Tags or transponders, the vital components of RFID, are the electronic chips consisting of an integrated circuit and antenna coil that communicate with a reader by means of a radio frequency signal. Since RFID does not require ‘line-of-sight’ between the transponder and the reader, it surmounts the limitations of other automatic identification devices, such as bar coding. Smart labels/tags are designed for lasting to lifetime of the item they identify and also perform the EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) function to detect the thefts.
