RFID Propels the ANGKASA Library Management System (Page 329)

1.How can RFID technology simplify basic library processes like the lending and returns of books?

(1)RFID innovation has unraveled the basic forms of the library, such as the borrowing and restitution of books. The borrowers only have to place the books and other materials they need on the touchscreen, and then give their cards to the library staff.

(2)The screen will naturally browse the RFID tag, and the reader can open the part configuration file on the frame for the employee to view it. After that, the receipt will be generated and will be unmistakable with the return date. The framework does not require physical records, seals, and other tedious exercises to look up library books. In addition, the framework also limits human error.

(3)In addition, the demand for returning books is also greatly reduced through the use of RFID innovation. Borrowers only need to put books in the library's special outline drop-down machine. In the drop-down box there is a scanner that filters the RFID tag that discarded the book and checks it as the content returned in the frame. The interest point of arrival will be updated as required, and the return certificate will be issued immediately after the return of the book. The entire program becomes an expert through the connection between the RFID framework and the library host PC. This avoids the need to deal with all the staff before the return of books, which is beneficial for borrowers, because although the library was closed, and most importantly, the return of the state of things is in an instant refresh, which means that different people sitting in a certain things can get it without hesitation.

2.What kind of technology does your school or university library use? Does IT play a crucial role in managing operations?

RFID technology has been adopted a few years ago by the University of UCSI. The technology helps to reduce the time for borrowing and returning books, as mentioned in case studies. UCSI students only insert books into the specified drop-down box in front of the library to return books, which helps to improve the manual processing efficiency of librarians and librarians. By adopting this technology, it not only lightens the workload of librarians and librarians, but also saves students' time. This may be one of the reasons why students are more willing to borrow books from their universities, because it is not very troublesome and more satisfying.

3.How is RFID technology helping the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences library to detect and prevent the theft of books?

It is well known that RFID labels are of great value in predicting theft by establishing an access channel for electronic goods monitoring (EAS) in the library. The EAS entrance channel is connected to the library's reconnaissance station. Similar to the warning framework in the store, the library part attempts to leave something unreleased, triggering the alarm, because the door can detect the RFID tag of the book within 1 meters, and it will not hinder the attraction. When someone meets an unissued thing, the alarm rings, the access channel rises, and the warning sound rings. The camera on the door takes personal photos and sends it to the observation station. Theft discovery is an independent innovation, and it can run library database freely, but it is an indispensable part of the AUCMS processing library.
