Implementation of a RFID Based Internet of Things Library Information System

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has become popular and efficient in Library management due to some constraints encountered in barcode technology, whichalways requires a line-of-sight, does not provide security for librarycollections, nor offer any benefit for collection management. It has become very difficult for libraries to satisfy the increasing demands of the users; hence the need for a better technology that can improve inventory management, and also security of library collections. This research implemented a radio frequency identification (RFID) based Internet of Things (IoT) model for efficient library information management;this speeds up book borrowing, monitoring, books searching processes, thus enabling staff to do more user-service tasks.
