Radio Frequency Identification Based Library management System

Abstract

Library Management Systems are systems used to manage all processes handled by a library like adding books, search issues, issuing books and returning them. A lot of problems appear as a result of the used conventional system from typos in data entry, that result in losing the integrity of data and creating uncertain environment for the librarian, to some possible human mistakes in calculations. The proposed system which is RFID based library management system supposed to handle these processes in a more effective and time saving way. This way is intended to be accomplished by turning all traditionally processed issues into RFID processes. Radio Frequency Identification which abbreviated RFID is a wireless technology that is used to uniquely identify items- in this case the items are the books. Depending on this aspect, we will implement a number of these processes using the proposed technology which are adding a book, removing a book, searching, shelf management and inventory management. By implementing the RFID technology we expect most of the problems that come along with working with traditional library systems to be solved.
