    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.
