Project Description

The project aims at merging the growing technology of radio frequency identification (RFID) with current state-of-the-art information and communication (ICT) technology for the design and implementation of a complete, cost effective, reliable system with application on the management of libraries. The proposed system should be able to: a) Provide stock management including inventory monitoring, identification of missing or lost library items, locating books on shelves after reservation, etc.;

b) Implement item security measures against possible thefts often incurred in libraries;

c) Eliminate timeconsuming processes when checking items out of the library or returning items to the library;

d) Sort out returned items into categories and indicate their precise location on the shelves; e) Provide notification to users when return deadlines are approaching
