RFID Library Tags
The traditional library uses barcode technology to realize book management. Although it has made important contributions to improving the efficiency of book circulation, it has some insurmountable defects. Its application in the field of libraries will surely become history, and it will be replaced by It is a new concept brought by RFID technology to library management.
Compared with barcode technology, RFID technology has more advantages in library book management:
- Improve the level of self-service and make readers more satisfied
The RFID library management system allows readers who enter the library to truly gain the satisfaction of "unimpeded travel", and RFID makes the entire library fully open. First of all, readers who need to search for library resources through the retrieval platform can do so on any computer in the library. Secondly, the self-service borrowing and returning machines are located on all floors of the library, which are operated purely autonomously, breaking away from the traditional queuing mode and reducing unnecessary waiting time. With its excellent performance, RFID tags get rid of the unrecognizable problem caused by the defacement of traditional barcodes. In addition, self-service operation is more conducive to the privacy protection of readers. Readers are often more inclined not to disclose their borrowing status and borrowing history to others. people. Relying on the stable and reliable technical characteristics of RFID, the library can provide readers with continuous and satisfactory services more stably.
- RFID helps readers and librarians return to service
Service processes such as reader information inquiry, reader card application, document inquiry, borrowing and returning are routine operations for the library, and cannot bring subversive value to the library. If librarians are restrained by these links, they cannot think about how to do better Create value for readers. Therefore, the introduction of the RFID system has reduced the work pressure of the librarians to a certain extent and released the creativity of the librarians. After librarians are troubled by stripping away basic affairs, they can think more about how to carry out valuable and meaningful things for readers, such as reading promotion activities, creating a strong campus atmosphere for books, leading correct values, and so on.
- Solve inventory problems and ensure the safety of books
To achieve accurate inventory of a large number of books in the library, the workload is huge and the efficiency is extremely low. The most troublesome thing for librarians is the inventory of books. RFID hand-held inventory equipment, with a light sweep, can realize the inventory of large quantities of books. At the same time, RFID links the book circulation management system and the anti-theft system, which greatly improves the security. RFID technology also connects anti-theft access control and self-service borrowing and returning information, allowing readers to enter and exit the library unimpeded, and realize non-sense borrowing and returning.
The application of RFID in libraries tends to be normalized. Many libraries have enjoyed the dividends brought by RFID technology in the digital upgrading and transformation. The advantages of RFID technology in libraries are becoming more and more obvious. RFID technology has the obvious advantages of intelligent, fast, and non-contact data exchange, which can realize self-service borrowing, high-speed inventory, fast search, positioning, shelving, sorting, etc. It provides the possibility for the transformation of circulation business and the establishment of intelligent library.
