Abstract/Summary

Book monitoring in a library set-up is essential not only for library administrators but as well as students and faculty alike. Library administrators need to close certain sectors of their libraries in order to perform inventory, a continuous update of bookshelves can eliminate this tedious task. For students and faculty, the task of locating books in shelves is often disregarded. Searching books in the library can be hard when books that are searched are misplaced or missing from their specified shelves. Borrowing and returning functions of students can also be done without the need for library supervision.

Radio Frequency Identification or RFID technology used in a library set-up provides solutions to these problems. By applying a program that incorporates the RFID reader with high-frequency tags attached in books the tasks of library personnel, students and faculty in searching, monitoring and supervising books are supported and made easier.
