using RFID technology, Accessing number of books at a time Searching a particular book to check its presence in the library Locating the physical location of the book Accounting/Stock verification of the materials The RFID based LMS facilitates the fast issuing,reissuing and returning of books with the help of RFID enabled modules.It directly provides the book information and library member information to the library management system and does not need the manual typing.It also provides monitoring and searching system.The monitoring module will continuously monitor the movement of books across the gates,so that the books taken out without prior issuing will be traced out easily and will alarm the librarians.The searching module provides the fast searching of books using RFID handheld reader.The physical location of the books can be easily located using this module Utmost care has been taken to provide following features to the Library using RFID technology: To remove manual book keeping of records Traceability of books and library members as they move Improved utilization of resources like manpower,infrastructure etc. Less time consumption as line of sight and manual interaction are not needed for RFID-tag reading. To provide 2 meters read range antennas To minimize the manual intervention To minimize the manual errors To provide the long lasting labels To provide fast searching of books Reasons for choosing UHF in Library Application UHF technology was chosen for library application due to its long read range,speed of frequency and low cost.The read range of mercury 4 reader is up to 2 meters,which is sufficient to monitor the movement of books across the gates.The read range of handheld reader is up to 30 cms which will be useful for locating a particular book in a rack.With the new EPC Global Gen 2 standard,over 1000 tags can be read per second in applications where they are insulated from RF noise.UHF also has the option to slow down the read process to 100 tags per second with high reliability in RF noisy applications. All of these benefits make the UHF technology the ideal choice for Library applications. RFID Integration Modules In order to provide RFID integration with LMS,three modules namely-Transaction Module, Monitoring Module and Searching Module were developed.Their functionalities are described below. Transaction Module The interaction of transaction module is given in(fig.3).The RFID interface is provided in the transaction forms like issue,reissue,return and fine status forms.The Manual intervention is minimized as the automatic identification of books and library members will be achieved because of RFID.The books and employee ID cards should be placed near the antenna.The tags will be scanned by the reader and the book id and the employee id will be transmitted to the s/w module running in the librarian's PC and which in turn will store the transaction information in databaseusing RFID technology, Accessing number of books at a time Searching a particular book to check its presence in the library Locating the physical location of the book Accounting/Stock verification of the materials The RFID based LMS facilitates the fast issuing, reissuing and returning of books with the help of RFID enabled modules.
