Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) refers to a wireless system comprised of two components: tags and readers. The reader is a device that has one or more antennas that produce radio waves and receive signals back from the RFID tag. An RFID system for library normally consists of RFID tags, a self check-out station, a self-return system/ book drop system, a staff work station, a tagging/programming station, security gates, a shelf scanner for inventory/digital library assistant, conveyor belts and sorting systems, etc. The use of RFID reduces the amount of time required to perform circulation operations. This technology helps librarians eradicate valuable staff time spent scanning barcodes while checking out and checking in borrowed items . IIT Guwahati Library offers a distinct service that is very useful for users, such as the ability to return books when the Library is closed. This paper discuss about the application and uses of RFID technology in the Central library of IIT Guwahati.
