Overview
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology that is slated to replace
barcodes in library applications. It is a form of identification that is contact-less and
does not require line of sight. The technology, though new to libraries, has been in
use in other sectors for more than 20 years. The RFID tags are placed in books and
generally covered with a property sticker. Antennas of different sizes, based on
application, are used to read the tags and manage the various library functions.
The RFID Solution is a revolutionary application of automatic identification and data
capture (AIDC) technology. In a library environment, RFID technology resembles a
traditional barcode system in that it provides a means of assigning an ID to an item
and reading that ID to perform circulation transactions or to take inventory. But
while RFID technology resembles a traditional barcode system in application, the
HCL RFID Solution is far superior in performance—plus it offers built-in security.
How the HCL RFID Solution Works
HCL has partnered with leading RFID hardware security providers, leading
manufacturers of RFID hardware, to bring you the latest in
RFID technology. A standard RFID system consists of four main
parts:
RFID Tags - Flexible, paper-thin smart labels that are
applied directly to library items. Each RFID tag contains
a tiny chip, which is both readable and writable and can
store information to identify items in your collection. In
library applications, it also stores a security bit and if needed, information to
support sorting systems.
Passive (this is what mostly used now)

Tags are inactive until the reader’s interrogation signal “wakes”
them up
Cheap, but short range only
Semi-passive
On-board battery, but cannot initiate communication
Can serve as sensors, collect information from environment: for
example, “smart dust” for military applications
More expensive, longer range
Active
On-board battery, can initiate communication
RFID Member Card: Library members were given membership card
enabled with RFID chip inside. Member details are printed on plastic sheet
which is pasted on the RFID Member Card. Member has to use/bring along
with the RFID Tag enabled books/resources for the issue/return of the same.
Readers – A

omitted by
the RFID
Tags. The devices are responsible for the security and circulation of
resources as programmed in the server, it will alarm if the resource is taken
out without proper process.
Database: all the information related to RFID tags and corresponding
information about the resource/books/member is stored in the database
which is stored in a centralized location a PC or a Server. The software
installed in the server verifies the tag reading captured by the Reader
(Transceiver).

The HCL RFID Solution can be implemented with any library automation system that
uses the Standard Interface Protocol (SIP/SIP2 & NCP IP protocol) for circulation
transactions.

Advantages of an RFID System over a Traditional Barcode System
The HCL RFID Solution provides numerous advantages over traditional barcode
systems. Here are just a few of the benefits:
Features RFID Barcode
Read more than one item at a time × Read while item is moving × Programmable × Line of site read not required × Life guarantee (100,000 reads) × Sturdy in harsh environments Might want to
consider use of the term “environmentally
hardened”, this term is becoming more common
place in USA electronics markets. (I am not certain
of global acceptance of this term)
×
Able to resist water damage × Built‐in security × Inventory tool without handling items × Able to locate specific items on shelves ×

Particulars RFID Barcode
Physical Size Tags range in size from a
postage stamp to a book.
The aspect ratio of a Tag's
length vs width is very
flexible and not a
significant factor for the
Reader.
Bar codes are larger than
the smallest tag and very
sensitive to the aspect
ratio for presentation to a
scanner. The ratio of a bar
code's length vs width is
critical to its operation.
Lifespan Tags have no moving parts
and are embedded in
protective material for an
indestructible case and
multi-year lifespan.
Bar Codes have unlimited
shelf life but are subject
to degradation with
handling.
Harsh Environments Tags may be placed in
extreme environments and
perform to specification.
They are very robust to
handling, sensitive to
environment, and generally
degrade once used, stored
or handled in a non-office
environment.
Product Codes Digital data is stored on
the Tag and provides for
a significant capability to
encode: 1) Tag originator
2) User data as needed
by the segment or
application 3) Serial
number as needed by

is not feasible because
the size of the Bar Code
becomes too large.
Counterfeiting Tags are produced with a
unique identity code (UIC)
or serial number from the
manufacturer. This is
embedded digitally on the
microchip and may not be
changed, therefore, making
them extremely resistant
to counterfeiting.
Bar Codes may easily be
duplicated and attached
to products and are,
therefore, easily
counterfeited.
Dynamic Updates Tags may be written to

RFID System Components and Applications
In a basic RFID system; tags, antennas and a controllers are used to read the tags
affixed to each item in your collection. At various administrative points within your
library, you can implement specific read/write stations, each of which uses an RFID
reader:
RFID Programming Workstation - Serves as a programming workstation
for tags, once these tags are programmed with unique item number and
other information. Once these tags are activates the security bit for the theft
detection.
Self-Checkout Station - Allows patrons to self issue items without
assistance from the library staff. Complete with a touch screen and receipt
printer, the Patron Self- Checkout Station helps libraries to manage the
human resources efficiently. Security Gates – These gates are the focal
point of the RFID security system. When any member try to steal a
book/resource from the library which fitted with RFID activated tags, the
security gate will raise the alarm, whereas if the member had legitimately
issued the book/resources the gates will not raise any alarm. These gates are
pride item of any library.
Staff Circulation Station – Very similar to Self Checkout Station but it is
managed the circulation staff rather than the library member themselves. But
it is not like the traditional circulation process or barcode, these process are
mainly used in cases where number of users are less or resources are costly
or rare so that circulation staff is directly involved in the issue process and
inform the member about the resources, etc.
Self-return Book Drop – It provide libraries the best service possible to its;
members. Library can place the Drop Box (Self Return Drop Box) anywhere
in the campus for example canteen, entry gate, etc and members can drop
the books/resources in them and take the return receipt for the same,
Page 18 of 34
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)
without visiting the library. The return process online, library will get online
updates into it’s resource database. Libraries can make arrangement for
collecting the books at any given point of the time during the day.
Auto Sorting Station – RFID enabled sorting machine will help in
automatically sorting the books/resources according to predefined sorting
setup. These help the shelving staff in sorting the books.
Handheld RFID Scanner for stock taking and shelf rectification:
Handheld scanner is able to two function they are: -
o Stock Taking: Imagine a library with a collection of millions of books,
and they have to do stock taking of all the collection. Generally with
collection more than 1-2 lakh, a library can
take more than 3 months to do a complete
stock taking. Whereas, a RFID handheld
scanner can scan 50 books in a 05 seconds
i.e. in one hour a library can take stock
taking of 30,000 books approximately and
that also 100% accurate.
o Shelf Rectification: imagine the condition of the user or the
circulation staff in locating a book/resources in the library which is
hidden by students/user. Libraries have option of rectifying the shelves
in the library during the stock taking process itself or under some
periodic process with the help of the RFID Handheld Scanner. RFID has
to programmed in such a way that it exactly knows the position of the
book/resources in the shelf/library and it will beep/alarm if the location
of the book is not matched with the record.
Page 19 of 34

RFID Process
Perhaps the most difficult and disliked function in libraries is stock management and
shelf management (rectification and re-shelving). Both the function becomes ex-
tremely simple with RFID technology.
The components necessary for inventory management consist of a handheld reader
and a Wand with an IPAQ (hand-held personal digital assistant) at the end. The
Reader weighs only 607 grams (0.6 kgs) and the Wand 435 grams (0.4 kg), making
the weight of the entire unit approximately one kilogram. A shelf can be
inventoried in a matter of a few minutes as the units can read up to 50-60 tags a
minutes. The system allows for two different methods for taking inventory.
There are two process used in the using the RFID handheld scanner.
The first method for taking inventory is to run the RFID Handheld Scanner across
the shelf. This process captures the RFID data to the PDA, which can store data for
more than 6 million books. This data is uploaded, through wired or wireless
Page 20 of 34
Proposal for RFID Security & Circulation Solution for (client)
connections, to the ILS system, where the software program performs the stock
taking functions.
The second method involves a pre-processing step where data is downloaded from
the ILS system to the Reader. This method is more effective when there is a need
to search for specific books or to identify miss-shelved or missing books. The unit
comes with an audible alarm to provide appropriate feedback to the user.
All in all, this technology converts the otherwise tedious task of managing stock
management to aa convenient technique for helping libraries gain control over their
collections.
EAS Gate
Library EAS security gate can be fixed with a video camera
The single-lane gate should consist of 02 (two) pedestals: Each pedestal is
standalone and plug and play to the main power. The Security Gates need to be
linked to the library database, and should still operate even when the Integrated
Library Management Software System is down or under maintenance.
