Abstract

RFID or Radio Frequency Identification is a technology that is used for tracking and identifying objects or, in other words, inventory control.RFID has been widely used in passports, smartcards, home appliances, merchandise tags, animal’s tags, automobiles, for monitoring heart patients and has even gone as far as in the operation of satellites and spacecraft. RFID technology has also entered the library space. This paper lays out the basics of RFID in terms of information and functions and how it has revolutionized the library space both in terms of management, circulation as also security of books and resources and has established a greater level of ease and efficiency at the end of both the library staff as well as the users.
