Library Management: Advantages of RFID and Disadvantages of Barcode
At present, most libraries still use barcode to manage books. In order to prevent readers from taking the books out, it is necessary to paste barcodes on the book, but also to insert anti-theft magnetic strips into the books. It has exposed some disadvantages of the management in the new century. For example, paper barcode is easily defaced and destroyed, without any anti-theft function. Books must be scanned one by one when borrow or return. It costs much time and labor to manage the books.
In the management of library, administrator could read the position of each book with RFID handheld terminal, which simplify the process and improve the speed. As well, readers could find the wanted book quickly with the RFID handheld terminal.
The RFID library management system has the ability to identify electronic labels quickly and in a non-contact manner, penetrating non-metallic and opaque materials, such as paper, wood and plastic. When the readers borrow or return the book, it does not need the administrator to scan the barcode one by one, just place the book in the operating table, the handheld terminal would read the electronic label information on each book automatically, it could read books in batches, complete the book to borrow or return service quickly. It reduce the labor and risk of loss, simplify the process, and improve the efficiency and borrowing rate of books.
