Dear all,
Now with improved and comparatively low priced than earlier, RFID
solutions address the security issues in libraries. And not only the
security issue= s but also many other routine and repetitive tasks like
stock verification, sorting of books, check-out/in, etc=85 can be
automated without much human intervention, which leads to better &
improved services, efficient use of = library staff and avoiding
inadvertent manual mistakes.
Another advantage of RFID over magnetic tattle is one need not to swipe
lib= rary resources for charging and discharging magnetic tattle every
time reso= urces go out and come into the library after checkout and
checkin. In case of RFID the security bit in the tag automatically gets
disarmed on checkout and armed on checkin without one needs to swipe it
manually.
Moreover the skilled staffs who undergo rigorous two year training would
be freed by the automated process and can be put to more meaningful tasks
viz=. reference services than repetitive works.
In fact two of the implementation of RFID in Indian Libraries have been
don= e by Edutech India Pvt. Ltd. at IIT Madras and IIM Indore.
