RFID Technology in Libraries

RFID technology in libraries is a big challenge.


Since RFID tags are generated by humans and pasted by humans lot of chance is there that wrong tags are pasted to wrong books. While tagging books humans can enter wrong accession number and those wrong accession numbered books can be pasted on wrong books. Especially in big libraries it is very much necessary to take care of tagging of books.

Information about book comes from backend database and RFID software does not have facility to check for duplicate number hence while using RFID in libraries, libraries have to take atmost care while tagging the document. Otherwise it becomes a full mess and many books get tagged with same number, wrong tags get added on wrong books. It becomes a big mess if tags are not generated properly.
