Overview

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology that is slated to replace

barcodes in library applications. It is a form of identification that is contact-less and

does not require line of sight. The technology, though new to libraries, has been in

use in other sectors for more than 20 years. The RFID tags are placed in books and

generally covered with a property sticker. Antennas of different sizes, based on

application, are used to read the tags and manage the various library functions.

The RFID Solution is a revolutionary application of automatic identification and data

capture (AIDC) technology. In a library environment, RFID technology resembles a

traditional barcode system in that it provides a means of assigning an ID to an item

and reading that ID to perform circulation transactions or to take inventory. But

while RFID technology resembles a traditional barcode system in application, the

HCL RFID Solution is far superior in performance—plus it offers built-in security.

How the HCL RFID Solution Works

HCL has partnered with leading RFID hardware security providers, leading

manufacturers of RFID hardware, to bring you the latest in

RFID technology. A standard RFID system consists of four main

parts:

RFID Tags - Flexible, paper-thin smart labels that are

applied directly to library items. Each RFID tag contains

a tiny chip, which is both readable 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.

Passive (this is what mostly used now)

Page 9 of 34


Tags are inactive until the reader’s interrogation signal “wakes”

them up

Cheap, but short range only

Semi-passive

On-board battery, but cannot initiate communication

Can serve as sensors, collect information from environment: for

example, “smart dust” for military applications

More expensive, longer range

Active

On-board battery, can initiate communication

RFID Member Card: Library members were given membership card

enabled with RFID chip inside. Member details are printed on plastic sheet

which is pasted on the RFID Member Card. Member has to use/bring along

with the RFID Tag enabled books/resources for the issue/return of the same.

Tags. The devices are responsible for the security and circulation of

resources as programmed in the server, it will alarm if the resource is taken

out without proper process.

Database: all the information related to RFID tags and corresponding

information about the resource/books/member is stored in the database

which is stored in a centralized location a PC or a Server. The software

installed in the server verifies the tag reading captured by the Reader

(Transceiver).

Page 10 of 34


The HCL RFID Solution can be implemented with any library automation system that

uses the Standard Interface Protocol (SIP/SIP2 & NCP IP protocol) for circulation

transactions.

Advantages of an RFID System over a Traditional Barcode System

The HCL RFID Solution provides numerous advantages over traditional barcode

systems. Here are just a few of the benefits:

Features RFID Barcode

Read more than one item at a time × Read while item is moving × Programmable × Line of site read not required × Life guarantee (100,000 reads) × Sturdy in harsh environments Might want to

consider use of the term “environmentally

hardened”, this term is becoming more common

place in USA electronics markets. (I am not certain

of global acceptance of this term)

×

Able to resist water damage × Built‐in security × Inventory tool without handling items × Able to locate specific items on shelves ×

Particulars RFID Barcode

Physical Size Tags range in size from a

postage stamp to a book.

The aspect ratio of a Tag's

length vs width is very

flexible and not a

significant factor for the

Reader.

Bar codes are larger than

the smallest tag and very

sensitive to the aspect

ratio for presentation to a

scanner. The ratio of a bar

code's length vs width is

critical to its operation.

Lifespan Tags have no moving parts

and are embedded in

protective material for an

indestructible case and

multi-year lifespan.

Bar Codes have unlimited

shelf life but are subject

to degradation with

handling.

Harsh Environments Tags may be placed in

extreme environments and

perform to specification.

They are very robust to

handling, sensitive to

environment, and generally

degrade once used, stored

or handled in a non-office

environment.

Product Codes Digital data is stored on

the Tag and provides for

a significant capability to

encode: 1) Tag originator

2) User data as needed

by the segment or

application 3) Serial

number as needed by

manufacturer. Additional

information beyond

these basic parameters

is not feasible because

the size of the Bar Code

becomes too large.

Counterfeiting Tags are produced with a

unique identity code (UIC)

or serial number from the

manufacturer. This is

embedded digitally on the

microchip and may not be

changed, therefore, making

them extremely resistant

to counterfeiting.

Bar Codes may easily be

duplicated and attached

to products and are,

therefore, easily

counterfeited.

Dynamic Updates Tags may be written to

and offer on board

memory to retain

information. This feature

may be used to store a

product calibration

history, preventive

maintenance, etc.

Once a Bar Code is printed

it remains frozen. The

Code and the process of

attaching the BC is not

updates. It is a labor

intensive process to

update any information on

a BC once printed.

RFID System Components and Applications

In a basic RFID system; tags, antennas and a controllers are used to read the tags

affixed to each item in your collection. At various administrative points within your

library, you can implement specific read/write stations, each of which uses an RFID

reader:

RFID Programming Workstation - Serves as a programming workstation

for tags, once these tags are programmed with unique item number and

other information. Once these tags are activates the security bit for the theft

detection.

Self-Checkout Station - Allows patrons to self issue items without

assistance from the library staff. Complete with a touch screen and receipt

printer, the Patron Self- Checkout Station helps libraries to manage the

human resources efficiently. Security Gates – These gates are the focal

point of the RFID security system. When any member try to steal a

book/resource from the library which fitted with RFID activated tags, the

security gate will raise the alarm, whereas if the member had legitimately

issued the book/resources the gates will not raise any alarm. These gates are

pride item of any library.

Staff Circulation Station – Very similar to Self Checkout Station but it is

managed the circulation staff rather than the library member themselves. But

it is not like the traditional circulation process or barcode, these process are

mainly used in cases where number of users are less or resources are costly

or rare so that circulation staff is directly involved in the issue process and

inform the member about the resources, etc.

Self-return Book Drop – It provide libraries the best service possible to its;

members. Library can place the Drop Box (Self Return Drop Box) anywhere

in the campus for example canteen, entry gate, etc and members can drop

the books/resources in them and take the return receipt for the same,

Page 18 of 34


without visiting the library. The return process online, library will get online

updates into it’s resource database. Libraries can make arrangement for

collecting the books at any given point of the time during the day.

Auto Sorting Station – RFID enabled sorting machine will help in

automatically sorting the books/resources according to predefined sorting

setup. These help the shelving staff in sorting the books.

Handheld RFID Scanner for stock taking and shelf rectification:

Handheld scanner is able to two function they are: -

o Stock Taking: Imagine a library with a collection of millions of books,

and they have to do stock taking of all the collection. Generally with

collection more than 1-2 lakh, a library can

take more than 3 months to do a complete

stock taking. Whereas, a RFID handheld

scanner can scan 50 books in a 05 seconds

i.e. in one hour a library can take stock

taking of 30,000 books approximately and

that also 100% accurate.

o Shelf Rectification: imagine the condition of the user or the

circulation staff in locating a book/resources in the library which is

hidden by students/user. Libraries have option of rectifying the shelves

in the library during the stock taking process itself or under some

periodic process with the help of the RFID Handheld Scanner. RFID has

to programmed in such a way that it exactly knows the position of the

book/resources in the shelf/library and it will beep/alarm if the location

of the book is not matched with the record.

Page 19 of 34


RFID Process

Perhaps the most difficult and disliked function in libraries is stock management and

shelf management (rectification and re-shelving). Both the function becomes ex-

tremely simple with RFID technology.

The components necessary for inventory management consist of a handheld reader

and a Wand with an IPAQ (hand-held personal digital assistant) at the end. The

Reader weighs only 607 grams (0.6 kgs) and the Wand 435 grams (0.4 kg), making

the weight of the entire unit approximately one kilogram. A shelf can be

inventoried in a matter of a few minutes as the units can read up to 50-60 tags a

minutes. The system allows for two different methods for taking inventory.

There are two process used in the using the RFID handheld scanner.

The first method for taking inventory is to run the RFID Handheld Scanner across

the shelf. This process captures the RFID data to the PDA, which can store data for

more than 6 million books. This data is uploaded, through wired or wireless

Page 20 of 34


connections, to the ILS system, where the software program performs the stock

taking functions.

The second method involves a pre-processing step where data is downloaded from

the ILS system to the Reader. This method is more effective when there is a need

to search for specific books or to identify miss-shelved or missing books. The unit

comes with an audible alarm to provide appropriate feedback to the user.

All in all, this technology converts the otherwise tedious task of managing stock

management to aa convenient technique for helping libraries gain control over their

collections.

EAS Gate

Library EAS security gate can be fixed with a video camera

The single-lane gate should consist of 02 (two) pedestals: Each pedestal is

standalone and plug and play to the main power. The Security Gates need to be

linked to the library database, and should still operate even when the Integrated

Library Management Software System is down or under maintenance.
