Why You Need RFID Library Technology Radio Frequency Identification is a technology that has become part of tracking systems used in libraries. RFID library has become a vital technology for faster inventorying and handling of materials in a library. RFID makes use of microchip technology and radio frequency technology where critical information is copied to microchips and fixed to library materials such as books to detect them. RFID technology is more advanced than the past detection systems since it does not require line-of-sight to detect an item. This type of security enhancement makes it easier for easy detection of any item embedded with such technology. Advantages of using RFID library technology • It reduces time for circular operations Use of RFID in libraries reduces time needed for circulation inspection since RFID technology allows information to be read faster compared to old technologies such as reading from barcodes or manual inspection • Reliability RFID tags are highly reliable once properly placed. The technology is not prone to issuing false alarms like old technologies and therefore the best technology to use in a busy environment such as libraries to allow quick checking of circulation status of items in the library. • Quick handling of materials RFID library allows quick handling of materials in a library. The system allows easy sorting and scanning of materials since you do not need to remove books from the shelves. This allows timely sorting of materials by the staff increased efficiency at the workplace. Conclusion RFID library offers numerous benefits as explained above. The technology is not only reliable but also reflects the modern and improved way of improving operations in libraries to ensure library users can get the best during their time at the libraries and that the staff can have an improved working environment by adopting modern technology such as the RFID technology
