“…Shelf management involving book stocktaking (Cunningham, 2010), arranging books, putting new books on the shelf, book moving and book shelving are obviously related (Li, 2013;Huang, 2012). With RFID, handheld scanners and a shelf management software that generates inventory reports are used to solve the problem (Singh & Midha, 2008;Mohideen, Muhamad, Ghadzali & Mohd Arshad, 2012). RFID technology provides functionality to manage a library collection efficiently (Butters, 2008), including high speed inventory (Cadoo, 2004;Rajasekar, Dhanakar, Pandian & Malliga, 2008), efficient inventory management (Schneider, 2003), automated materials handling (Narayanan & Somasekharan, 2005), along with the ability to scan books on the shelves without taking them out or removing them.…”

Background. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) offers tracking capability to locate equipment, supplies and people in real time, and provides efficient and accurate access to library transactions such as book search, borrow, book return, etc. However, the adoption of RFID in libraries lags behind earlier expectations. Objectives. A formal innovation-decision framework is used to analyze the literature on the use of RFID in libraries. The purpose is to identify common applications, potential benefits, barriers and critical success factors. This paper seeks to offer quick assessment of RFID in libraries and provide guidance for researchers and practitioners in adopting RFID in libraries. Results. Many earlier adopters in libraries found RFID to be functional and useful in such areas as asset tracking and item identification. Major barriers to adoption include technological limitations, interference concerns, prohibitive costs, lack of global standards and privacy concerns. A better designed RFID system available at a low cost and that addresses privacy issues is needed to increase the adoption of RFID in libraries.

“…The potential applications for RFID library management (e.g. sorting, inventory, theft prevention, transactions, cost) have been described by Mohideen et al [17] and Selamat and Majlis [18]. The effect of the book of the tag's performance has been addressed by Kim et al resulting in the design of a loop antenna capable of readings of up to 5 metres [19].…”

In contract electronics manufacturing, assets and their supporting documents are considered not only valuable intellectual property but also confidential, e.g. due to the military or high value aerospace products they support. Managing transaction records, controlled access and location at all times is of great importance, not only to limit risk but to follow mandatory protocols. In this study a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system capable of addressing the criteria described is presented. Both the hardware architecture used along with its limitations and performance in a harsh environment and the software based on a service oriented approach are discussed. The system is evaluated by means of discrete event simulation for different use-case scenarios. Test results show that although the system is capable of recording transactions, a 100% detection rate cannot be guaranteed if the documents are kept inside a metallic cabinet. This proves to be a consequence not of the number of tagged documents present but ofthe surrounding environment. Despite the system’s limitations, which were taken into account during discrete event simulations, a reduction in cost partly due to a reduction in management time of 59% for the manager and 45% for the staff was observed.

“…In addition, when reviewing some other RFID related literatures [18][19][20][21][22][23], two comments were made: (1) such an intelligent plan may not meet the library demand because library internal disturbances, which could affect the RFID operation, such as metal conditions, electric motion-communication wave, and electric wireless network wave should be taken into consideration; (2) the proposed inventory system should be convenient to all readers. As mentioned above, driven by the advanced ubiquitous computing technology, the authors propose a library inventory system with printed RFID antenna in which the characteristics of good gain and omnidirectional beam wave are constructed and evaluated.…”

Abstract.A 915 MHz printed radio-frequency-identification (RFID) antennas with the characteristics of good gain and omnidirectional beam wave is constructed and evaluated in this study. The objective is to find out their best reading rates for providing effective wireless communications among RFID antenna during the library book inventory process. And an optimal library inventory system which is based on electromagnetic identification (EMID) technology is proposed, which is constructed to find the optimal tag location for a book, test the tag readability for bookshelves, and connect a couple of multi-layer bookshelves with multiplexers and updat the tag reading status in the database of the computer terminal. The fabricated antenna reader and the proposed system are embedded into different locations of bookshelves and tested at the library of Cheng Shiu University in Taiwan. According to the experimental results, the designed prototype of the antenna reader has the characteristics of the directional radiation pattern, good gain, simple shape, low cost and is easy to be integrated into the bookshelf. And the designed library inventory system can authenticate the location of a book automatically . They can benefit administrating librarians with the capabilities of decreasing the library inventory processing time and reducing the possibility of the books being misplaced.
