Advancing Library Management through Practical RFID Adoption

Rukhsana Shawl, Dr. Satyandra Kumar Sharma

Abstract: RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is a cutting-edge tool transforming library operations. Utilizing electromagnetic fields, RFID systems automatically identify and track tags attached to objects, such as books and multimedia materials. This innovative technology is increasingly adopted by libraries worldwide to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction. RFID technology empowers patrons with enhanced self-service options. Self service kiosks equipped with RFID readers allow users to check out and return materials independently, fostering a sense of autonomy and convenience. This not only reduces queues and wait times but also allows library staff to focus on more complex inquiries and support services, enhancing the overall user experience. As libraries continue to evolve in the digital age, the adoption of RFID technology will likely expand. Future advancements may include more sophisticated tracking systems, integration with other digital resources, and enhanced user interfaces for even greater convenience and efficiency. RFID technology represents a significant step forward in modernizing library management, ultimately enriching the role of libraries as vital community resources in the 21st century.
