An Overview of RFID Library Systems

Library RFID systems make use of the wireless RFID technology to track books and other library materials. RFID library systems include RFID tags, RFID readers and LSmart software. The tags are placed on the books and the information encrypted in these tags can be read on on a dashboard through an RFID reader integrated with LSmart software.

The LSmart software integrates the RFID and EM technologies for library automation.

The LIBSYS RFID library systems impart security and automation to your library. It makes the process of identifying and tracking books much easier and also prevents thefts. Misplacement of books and theft are common factors affecting the accuracy of library records. The correctness of library records is of utmost importance and can not be achieved without the use of library RFID systems.

Lending

The usage of RFID technology has minimized human intervention in library book lending systems. Multiple items can be processed simultaneously during check out/check-in resulting in fast movement of books. Moreover, a 24/7 check out and check-in is possible with self-service kiosks.

Security

LIBSYS library security systems also include library security gates. A security gate in library will record footfalls and ring an alarm if an unchecked item is moved out. Altogether, an RFID enabled security gate in library prevents unauthorized access.

Shelf Management

Shelf management in the library becomes hassle-free with the use RFID library systems. Proper shelving and tracking of missing items is easily done with the help of a mobile RFID reader.

Stock Verification

Complete stock verification in library involves counting and verifying the library stock of books. The hand-held RFID reader device provides accuracy and efficiency in the stock verification process.

RFID library systems save time of patrons as well as library staff because human intervention is minimized. They also increase the overall efficiency in managing library operations by streamlining circulation and improving workflows.
