RFID BASICS Non line of sight AIDC technology

for identification of objects

Basic system components (tags,readers & middle ware)

Tags consists of a microchipattached to an antenna and isplaced in the object to be located.

Various types of tagspassive,active

Reader communicates with thetags through radio waves. Staffwork stations, handheld readers,self-charging stations, long range

exit reader systems Middleware converts the data

captured by the reader into aformat that is perceivable by theapplication software

WHY RFID FOR LIBRARY?

Fastest, easiest, most efficientway to track, locate & managelibrary materials

Efficient Book circulationmanagement

Automatic Check-in and Check-out

Library inventory tracking inminutes instead of hours

Multiple books can be readsimultaneously

Unique ID of the RFID tagprevents counterfeiting

Automated material handlingusing conveyor & sorting systems

RFID BenefitsLibraries

Stock managementOperations such as managing material on the shelves, identifying

missing & mishelved items are streamlined and taking stocks regularlywill be feasible

Improved patron services

Spending minimal time on circulation operations allows library staff toassist 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 customerneeds dictate

Security

Library item identification & security bit is combined into a single tag,

there by eliminating the need to attach an additional security strip

RFID BenefitsLibrary 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 withoutclosing 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 doesnt require physical

deshelving & shelving of library materials

RFID BenefitsPatrons

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

Reaping Rewards of RFID

Singapore is probably first nation in the world to have all its public libraries

use RFID technology for the circulation and management of library items.

This enables them to do a stock-take of 100,000 items in just four hours.

Patrons can issue and return books at any public library

The university of Nevada libraries found more than 500 lost items afterofficials tagged 600,000 items in its collection

Surveys at Baulkham Hills Council in Sydney showed that only 5 to 6

percent of their library staffs time is spent on circulation duty compared to

85 percent before adopting RFID Self Server kiosks

San Francisco Public Library spent $265,000 in direct costs for repetitivestrain injuries over a three year period before implementing RFID based

library management system
