What is RFID? Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic
identification method, replying on storing andremotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags
or transponders. - Wikipedia Smart card or integrated circuit card (ICC) is defined
as a pocket-sized card with embedded integratedcircuits which can process information. This implies
that it can receive input which is processed by way ofthe ICC application. - Wikipedia

Difference between Barcode and RFID
Information can be read from RFID tags much faster than from barcodes
Several items in a stack/counter can be read at the same time using RFID
Items do not have to be handled one-by-one nor removed from the shelves
Inventory-taking is no longer a tedious operation RFID can stand more than 10,000 read/write
RFID can have theft bit which can be in two states ON/OFF
Shelf verification/rectification can be done on daily basis
More information can be written in the RFID tag on incremental basis
Need not open/remove books to capture information
Items are identified on upper and lower shelves more comfortably

Five important sentences about
RFID for Library RFID tags replaced both the EM Security strips and
Barcode.
They simplify patron self check-out and check-in. They have the ability to handle materials without
exception for video and audio tapes.
Radio Frequency anti-theft detection is innovative and
safe. It is high-speed inventory and identifies items which
are out of proper order.

TAGS RFID tags that are electronically programmed with unique
information. Flexible, paper-thin smart labels that are applied directlyto library items. Each RFID tag contains a tiny chip, which is bothreadable 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. There are two main types of tags: PassiveandActive:
Passivetags only provide information when scanned by a reader.
Activetags actively transmit data to a reader.
Within a passive tag there can be different types of microchip e.g.
Hitag1, Hitag2, EM4102, I-Code or Q5 etc.each with varying levels offunctionality; increased memory, read/write or read-only capabilities.
There are three types of tags:
Read only
Write once (WORM: Write Once Read Many)
Full read/write

Tags are also are available with different frequencies:
Low frequency (120-140Khz)
High frequency (13.56 MHz)
Ultra-high frequency (868-956Mhz)

Smart Card
The history of smart card starts with microprocessorchips, which were first manufactured in 1966 byFairchild Instruments and Texas Instruments. The ideaof using plastic cards as the carrier of microchips wasdeveloped by Jergen Dethloff in 1968.
Types of Smart Card
Integrated circuit (IC) microprocessor cards Integrated circuit (IC) memory cards
Optical memory cards

Reader
Inventory readers are used for stock verification forlocating specific item fast. During the inventorychecking process, the readers can be directlyconnected to the library servers with databases or store
the data in a pocket PC and transfer to the librarydatabase upon completion. Lets you take inventoryand locate missing items. The RFID Inventory ControlSystem consists of two parts: 1) a hand-held RFID
reader that you can use to scan items on your shelvesand 2) software developed that lets you generateinventory reports about the collected data.

AntennaA conduit between RFID tags and the coupler.
RFID antennas emit radio waves that activate
RFID tags as they pass through the activation
field. After a tag is activated, it can send
information to or receive information from thecoupler. An antenna connected to the coupler.

Coupler
The link between RFID tags and the PC. The couplercan send information in two directions: It can readinformation from a tag and send it to the PC (readmode), or it can read information from the PC and
send it to an RFID tag (write mode) PC: The link between the coupler and your library automation
system. It has developed software that runs on your PC toprovide an interface between the RFID hardware and your library
automation system. Server: A server to receive and decode the information and to
communicate with the automated library system.

System Four Phase
Library Security System Only. Using RFID Tag replace EM Security Stripe
Support Library Circulation
Using RFID tags replace the barcode in Circulation process. Reading books access number from RFID than from barcode
toborrow and return the book.
Patron Self Check-in/Check-out
Let patron do the check-out and check-in process of books. Smart and Quick Inventory
Search and Inventory by reading the RFID using portablereader and portable computer.

RFID Transponder
An RFID tag is the most important link in any RFID system. Ithas the ability to store information relating to the specific itemto which they are attached, rewrite again without anyrequirement for contact or line of sight. Data within a tag mayprovide identification for an item, proof of ownership, original
storage location, loan status and history. KEY BENIFIT
Allows check-out and check-in several items simultaneously
Information directly attached to product
Performing both identification and antitheft in one single operation Different shape and sizes available
Able to tag almost anything
Accelerate scanning and identifying

Counter Station/ Staff Station
Together with circulation module from Library AutomationSoftware, this station is used for the following services:
Editing and updating of patrons record
Add and deleting of patrons record
Generate loan history for a particular patrons
Managing of fines incurred by the patron
Arm/Disarm of EAS bit inside the library material
Program of new library material
Sort item in accordance to their branch and category number
The features of this station depend on the module loaded bythe Library Automation Software.

Shelf Management System
The Shelf Management Solution makes locating andidentifying items on the shelves an easy task for librarians.It comprises basically of a portable scanner and a basestation.
The solution is designed to cover three main requirements: Search for individual books requested
Inventory check of the whole library stock
Search for books which are miss-helved
In situations when search function is required, whether fora particular item or an item category, the information isfirst entered into the portable scanner from the basestation, and when a foreign item is found on the shelves, abuilt-in beeper sound to alert the librarians.

KEY BENEFITS: 1. Changes inventory process:
No more book handling: just pass the reader across shelved books toperform an instant inventory.
Accuracy: book identification numbers are registered in the Shelf-Management Reader. The data is then downloaded to the central
database. The fastest inventory you have ever made: 20 books per second.
Notification: books to be pulled are up-loaded to the reader for quickidentification.
2. User friendly:
Light weight Wand allows easy reading of high and low shelves
3. Saves time and resources: Implementers indicate a 75% reduction in human resources required
for shelf management activities.

RFID EAS Gate/ Anti theft Detection
The RFID EAS Gate is the anti-theft part of the RFID Library ManagementSystem using the same RFID tags embedded in the library items. Each lane isable to track items of 1 meter or more and would trigger the alarm system whenan un-borrowed item passed through them. The alarm will sound and lights onthe gate will flash as patron passes through with the library material.
The EAS Anti-Theft Gate is used to detect RFID tag that is equipped with EAS
(Electronic Article Surveillance). It can detect the RFID tags within 1 meterrange without interference of magnetic items, upon detecting of Armed RFIDtags, the alarm will sound on the gate. It has option to trigger a Camera torecord patrons who trigger the alarm to the Surveillance Station.
Theft detection is an integral feature of the chip within the tag. It is a stand-alone technology, which operates independently of the library database.
FEATURES: Detect EAS Armed RFID tags Multi-item detection Able to integrate camera with the gate (Option) Gale to integrate with Surveillance Station (Option)

KEY BENEFITS:
Single technology is required for both inventory and theft
management of the library. Library staff is alerted immediately when un-borrowed items
passes through the theft detection gates.
Would-be thieves are deterred by the physical presence of
the gates. Number of patrons passing through
the gantry is captured by a
counter on the gates Alarm volume
can be easily controlled.
