About the Book

Most medium to large scaled libraries across the globe have already incorporated the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and increased their respective efficiencies by a solid margin. Moreover, a large percentage of significant libraries that do not already boast of RFID technology are in the process of implementing it.

This is because RFID technology has developed leaps and bounds in the last decade. While it has multiple applications in numerous fields, it is most significant in how internal operations of libraries and knowledge repositories around the world function.

The incorporation of RFID technology into existing library information systems in the country can provide a super-charged impetus to their efficiency levels. Implementation of RFID technology can manifest in multidirectional cost savings and improved performance levels. Benefits and elements that the RFID technology can add to existing library operations include.

A Smoother Access Control System
Better Stack Management & Book Identification Systems
A Reliable Inventory Control System
Independent Check-Out Systems
Fool proof Anti-Theft Control System
Improved Inventory Management and Transfer Systems

In addition to financial savings, incorporation of RFID technology also promotes reduced dependence on the human element in administration. This eliminates human errors and directly improves the quality of services being offered to the end user.

Despite the growing relevance and practical viability of the RFID technology, it’s yet to be adopted by most national libraries. The reason for this divide between international libraries and national libraries is lack of awareness and knowhow pertaining to RFID technology.

This book is designed to remedy that problem and encourage the adoption of RFID technology in national libraries.Application of Radio Frequency Identification Technology in Libraries will educate librarians and knowledge custodians all over the country about various RFID components, ranging from the most basic elements to the more elaborate concepts.

With this book, the reader will learn about multiple elements pertinent to the RFID technology such as different types of RFID systems, their components, their installation costs, their installation procedure, their proper use, their maintenance, their maintenance costs, and future upgrades. More importantly, the book provides an immaculate roadmap for the implementation of the RFID technology in a practical and financially feasible manner.
