VI. Trends in Barcode/Magnetic Stripe/RFID Library Labels

Traditional library management uses magnetic stripes and barcodes for security and identification. Despite being cost-effective compared to RFID, they come with significant limitations:

1.Low automation, making book search and sorting difficult.
2.Time-consuming inventory checks and high labor intensity.
3.Limited service hours, hindering full library potential.
4.Inefficient barcode scanning during lending.

V. Benefits of RFID Systems

1. RFID works alongside existing systems, eliminating the need to remove magnetic stripes or barcodes. This reduces effort and minimizes damage.
2. UHF RFID tags allow multiple books to be borrowed or returned simultaneously, boosting efficiency.
3. The application of UHF RFID technology allows unmanned libraries to become possible, and libraries can be open 24 hours a day in a real sense. There are also self-service reading rooms, self-service libraries, outdoor self-borrowing bookcases and so on.
4. As technology spreads, RFID costs have decreased a lot, and the operation is easier. Smarter libraries are the future.

VIII. Applications of library tag

1.Background

Nowadays,RFID is commonly used in libraries worldwide. More and more libraries and publishers announced their intent to integrate RFID technology.It can help automate complexity and unleash the library full potential.

RFID for library is a technology which replaces barcodes for item level tracking. Compared to barcodes, RFID can speed the process of multiple items without line of sight and provides item-leven security.

There are 2 frequency bands for RFID tags-UHF and HF. HF frequency band is 13.56MHz with ISO 15693 protocol with less than 1M read range which allows for accurate item processing. UHF frequency band which also known as RAINRFID is 860-960MHz. UHF tags read range can be up to 8 meters which allows fast inventory tracking. You can choose UHF or HF based on the requirement.

2.How RFID Library works?

RFID Library System will include tags, readers& software.

Books are tagged with OSRFID library tags. When library tags come near to the reader, it will provide power to the library tags to get the data from the RFID tags to enable a automotive checking in&out or inventory tracking on shelves. When an item passed the gate reader, it will be alerted whether it has been checked out.
