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. |
