In this paper, we propose a new self-service library system. The new system adopts Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology so that patrons can check out and return library property at any time of the day. In addition, repetitive strain injuries among librarians are alleviated. Unlike traditional methods of old library circulation system which employed barcode as Identification of a book, a tiny RFID tag is attached to a book in the new circulation system. With its serial number programming and anti-theft information programming into the tag, it is believed that the new system has a better control on theft, nonreturns.

  Libraries as a service provider to the user that needs fast, easy, and efficient services. Optimization of the services performed by the application of information technology such as utilizing barcode technology for the library system. Along with the development, there were some shortcomings in the use of barcode technology. Barcode technology can be replaced by RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) in order to further improve the operational and library services. RFID has some advantages over the barcode system is the possibility of data can be read automatically without regard to alignment readings, past the non conductor materials like cardboard paper with access speeds of several hundred tags per second at a distance of several meters. The advantages and capabilities of RFID can be applied in a library system in the inventory, self-service, and security so as to generate optimal library services more than manual systems or even a barcode system. Utilization of RFID technology in the library and then combined with technology Telegram Bot API as a medium to facilitate user access such as notification, accessing history, and others.

Most of the libraries nowadays are using emerging technologies in their systems. They have started using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that has changed the library tasks to be working practically and conveniently. This system helps librarians and library users to use the library systems more easily and more securely. In this paper, we have studied the current library system with the issues and challenges that they faced and we have proposed a new system using emerging technologies. This system will track the books and will take care of them from thefts. Also, will track the user who borrowed the books by his registered details, till he returns the books. Also, we have implemented a system to be using library services by users themselves.

A new, ultra-small, light-activated microtransponder ("p-Chip") has been integrated into the heads of entomological pins toimprove efficiency in collections management and research through radio frequency identification (RFID) of insect specimens.These specimens are typically small, fragile, numerous and especially difficult to track. Globally, the majority are not currentlyrecorded in any database. The application of unique identifiers has previously proven time consuming and difficult. Permanentand integral to the specimen, each p-Chip transmits a unique serial number allowing tracking without contact and reducing therisk of damage to specimens and repetitive strain injuries (RSI) in curators. The p-Chips and the specimens they tag can belinked immediately to biodiversity web services and collections databases. Specimens can be rapidly assigned to groupings asthey are sorted and their taxonomic identity refined; and accurately tracked through high throughput methods and analyses.Quite importantly, with the p-Chips, the profile of the pin head is unchanged, and there is no discernible tactile difference fromstandard entomological pins. We also describe how p-Chips can be retro-fitted to provide complete compendia of legacy samples.

<span>The adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology by libraries promises a solution that could make it possible to inventory hundreds of thousands of items in their collections in days instead of months. In addition, it would allow patrons to check out and return library property automatically at any time of the day. Besides speeding up checkouts, keeping collections in better order, and alleviating repetitive strain injuries among librarians, RFID promises to provide a better control on theft, nonreturns, and misfiling of a library’s assets. With an estimated 35 million library items tagged worldwide in more than three hundred libraries, this technology is generating ever-increasing interest. In October and November 2004, the industrial technology department and the Robert E. Kennedy Library at Cal Poly State University, San Luis Obispo, surveyed participating libraries, RFID electronic discussion groups, and Library and Information Technology Association (LITA-L) electronic discussion group subscribers to collect information with regards to the implementation of RFID systems in libraries. Opinions were gathered regarding such topics, actual or estimated, as RFID implementation costs and time; the impact of the technology on operations such as handling of volumes and security; and RFID system features adopted such as conversion stations, self-checkout units, and security systems. Information on the various RFID library components and the results from the survey are presented in this paper.</span>


This study represents a device to identify the location of an Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) child using an Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This is a wearable device, that is to be worn by the autism child, which allows the parent to track the child anytime, anywhere .The RFID technology is implied for the location tracking, The RFID Tag is affixed on the device, the reader which is supposed to sense the RFID tag is placed at the spots such as classroom etc. The reader when it senses the tag notifies the parent through a message. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the activation signal produced by the reader. The encoded data present in the integrated circuit of the tag is being encoded by the reader and the data is delivered to the host computer for processing. The location can be sent to parent in the form of a normal text message via GSM. Autism children deserve to acquire knowledge and explore the environment. To overcome the obstruction this device will be of immense help.

Using radio wave or radio frequency scanners to identify wirelessly any object is not so much complex in reality. The latest version of this technology is known as radio frequency identification or RFID. RFID has three building blocks: small tags built around microchips that carry a digital identification code; The RFID scanners also known as readers, the readers are also known as interrogators and networking hardware and the software to link scanners to the main computer databases that can be in hardware or cloud storage. In this project, we describe the implementation of RFID technology in the platform of asset management system in an organization. Using RFID technology track the all of the assets is the main aim of the project. The RFID interrogators open a serial port and then reads a RFID tag to use it as a unique parameter in the database to access and show the record associated to the RFID chip. Any change is wirelessly synchronized to the main database server.An admin will look after the whole server as an administration. If any new asset is introduced which is not in the main database, when the RFID scanner detects that the admin will get a notification message also in anyway if any asset will tamper by anything or anyone or if someone will try to steal any asset then again, the admin will get a notification message instantly.

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology may be applied to cylindrical objects, but the curving of an RFID tag brings on an increase in resonant frequency of the tag antenna. The tag can not function in an excessively curving case, since the deviation of the antenna resonant frequency from working frequency makes a reduction in inductive energy supplied by a transmitter. The variation in antenna resonant frequency is dependant upon column radius of the cylinder and curving angle of the tag. Analytically, it is found that a reduction in central distance, which is determined by column radius and curving angle, between compound straight tracks leads to the decreasing of overall antenna-coil inductance after the curving of the tag. By introducing a curving turn exponent, the overall antenna-coil inductance is calculated. After neglecting the less variation in overall tag capacitance, the antenna resonant frequency may be estimated. The result provides an instruction for designing a curving tag antenna to fit the tag antenna resonant frequency for working frequency of an RFID system.

Electronic healthcare or E-Health promises to offer better care at lower cost. This is critical as the cost of healthcare continues to increase and as the population ages. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is one form of wireless technology that will be part of the E-Health environment. RFID provides the ability to identify, track, and monitor patients and staff members. This enables better resource allocation, reduction of medical errors, and increased independence for patients. One part of E-Health is the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). New developments in RFID technology now enable the storage of all or part of the EMR on an RFID tag that remains with the patient. This chapter investigates the use of RFID in E-Health, how RFID can be used to store the EMR, and the security and privacy risks associated with using RFID to store the EMR.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology introduces the way of automated data collection, and processing to improve accuracy of processed data. In the present time possibilities in development and application of RFID technologies are almost limitless. Increasing expansion of RFID technology in almost any industry, where the RFID tag can be put on any product or material or component is an evidence of the previous assertion. Apart from technical aspects, i.e. security, the financial effect of the RFID technology implementation is also relevant in rail freight transport. Using this technology to keep records of technical condition of the wagons can be avoided a huge disaster caused by lack of knowledge about technical condition of the wagon. It can bring the return of initial investment and cost reduction.

This paper describes a way to improve the indoor navigation of mobile robots using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. A net of RFID tags is deployed in the navigation space. A measurement system measures distances from the tags to the robot with in the presence of the firstorder Markov-Gauss colored measurement noise (CMN) and is combined with a digital gyroscope to measure the robot heading. To increase the localization accuracy, the Kalman filter (KF) and unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR) modified for CMN are used. It is shown that the navigation system developed is more accurate than the basic one employing the standard KF and UFIR filter
