TITLE: RFID TECHNOLOGY IN LIBRARIES
ABSTRACT:RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) technology revolutionizes library management, enhancing efficiency and patron experience. Its importance in libraries and information centers lies in streamlining tasks, expediting inventory management, and enabling seamless self-checkout systems. RFID tags enable rapid item identification, reducing human errors and improving circulation processes. This tech optimizes space utilization, offering real-time tracking of materials, minimizing loss, and expediting search operations. Libraries benefit from enhanced security through RFID-enabled anti-theft systems. Patron satisfaction increases with quicker access to resources and self-service options. Overall, RFID technology empowers libraries to modernize operations, augment user experience, and adapt to evolving information management needs efficiently.
