IntroductionIntroduction

RFID Library Management System

Shortcomings ....Shortcomings ....

Most library automation solutions available today are primarily standalone and/or LAN solutions. These approaches are not satisfactory for effective networking

Most library automation solutions available today require costly backend licenses

Book shelving / management difficult to implement

The trend worldwide is to leverage the Web to build effective library networks

FeaturesFeatures RFID enabled library for Cataloging of books , members Logical rotation of books in shelves Flexibility in searching information Centralized database User identification through their rfid tags/smart cards Security features include a login procedure with

password protection or both, the librarian as well as the member, for security purpose

Comparison between existing system and developed system.– Technical Aspect.

RFID Library features.– High-speed inventorying.– Automated material handling.– Shelf management.

The ActiveX interface controlThe ActiveX interface control

We have developed a control for interfacing RFID reader with the software modules. The basic task of this control is to read the serial port when ever it senses the data it reads the serial data from the port converts in to hex format and raises an event called RFID which we have used in software for tracing presence of tags near the reader.

Advantages of RFIDAdvantages of RFID

No line of sight needed. Allows to check-out and check-in

several items simultaneously. Different shapes and sizes available. Performing both identification and

antitheft in one single operation. Accelerate scanning and identifying.
