“…Librarians have been evaluating, testing, installing and configuring open-source software packages to effectively manage library-related tasks. As libraries face increasingly harsher budgets, open-source software allows for greater freedom, control and customizability, more reasonable upfront costs and the ability to find creative solutions to common problems (Younker and Ribaric, 2013).…”

Purpose This paper aims to introduce the concept of open-source hardware to the library professionals and gives a brief of the outlook of its current and potential application in libraries Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on a literature review. Findings Open source already aids libraries and has great potential but is hobbled by its intrinsically technical appeal. Originality/value The paper makes first observation towards the concept of open-source hardware with a slant towards librarianship.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology revolutionizes the automatic identification of objects. In this paper, library logging system based on radio frequency identification (RFID) interface using Arduino Uno board as platform is proposed and prototyped. Technology in Arduino and RFID are reviewed. RFID MFRC522, is a highly integrated reader/writer IC for contactless communication at 13.56 MHz. RFID technology uses electromagnetic fields to transfer data to automatically identify objects. Information of books with RFID tags are registered in the database system. When books are scanned in the RFID reader, the system will automatically give the information of the book and the current date and time. User will input the borrowers’ information which will automatically login into the system with the book details. Arduino microcontroller is used as a micro web server and a communications gateway among hardware modules. Design shows that RFID interfacing using Arduino Uno board as platform can make library logging system more efficient and convenient through the automation of workflow processes. To reduce library losses, security and item identification should be combined in a single tag in future designs.
