Self-Service Library System: Design and Implementation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a new self-service library system. The new system adopts Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology so that patrons can check out and return library property at any time of the day. In addition, repetitive strain injuries among librarians are alleviated. Unlike traditional methods of old library circulation system which employed barcode as Identification of a book, a tiny RFID tag is attached to a book in the new circulation system. With its serial number programming and anti-theft information programming into the tag, it is believed that the new system has a better control on theft, nonreturns.
