With the continuous development of RFID technology, more and more fields are using RFID radio frequency identification technology. In order to facilitate protection, identification, and data tracking, and meet the simple operation functions of book borrowing and returning, collection, searching, inventory sorting, etc., RFID technology has many advantages in library applications and has been widely used.

1. Simplify work procedures

The use of RFID electronic tags has reduced the rate of book loss. The traditional process of borrowing and returning books has introduced barcode scanning systems, which require manual opening of the book's title page and finding the barcode location before scanning the barcode. This operation process is relatively cumbersome and inefficient in borrowing and returning books. At the same time, barcodes are prone to breakage, and there are often situations where barcodes cannot be read and need to be replaced. This not only affects the efficiency of borrowing and returning books, but also affects readers' satisfaction with the library. When a reader detects a non borrowing book at a specific exit, the RFID system will automatically sound an alarm.

2. Accelerated inventory speed

Manual book inventory is labor-intensive and inefficient. Management personnel need to classify, place, and record books based on their own memory. The introduction of RFID technology reads information through flying contact and can read multiple tag information at once, greatly improving the efficiency of counting and saving manpower and material resources. Intelligent book inventory has been achieved.

3. Improve the security of anti-theft systems

The traditional library magnetic stripe anti-theft system has low accuracy, and the magnetism of the magnetic stripe is easily weakened, often resulting in false alarms, unclean demagnetization alarms, and many other non real theft situations. By integrating a reader/writer, it can determine whether the checked book has been illegally included or if the borrowing record has missed a book, and then determine whether to take an alarm action, reducing the missed and false alarm rates. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional book anti-theft system and adopt more reliable anti-theft technologies.

4. Change the disconnect between borrowing management and security theft prevention

Before returning and shelving books, they need to be magnetized, and when lending them out, they need to be demagnetized, which is a heavy workload and directly affects the efficiency of book circulation and management. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional management system by linking the anti-theft system with the book circulation management system, recording the entry and exit history of each book, so as to match it with the borrowing and returning history of books.

The RFID channel door can recognize electronic tags attached to books. When books that have completed borrowing procedures pass through the security door, the security door does not respond. Conversely, when books that have not completed borrowing procedures pass through, the security door will sound and light an alarm.

5. Improve the satisfaction of library staff

Through the technological transformation of the library management system, technical means can be used to compensate for management deficiencies, while freeing staff from the heavy and repetitive daily work of the library.

6. Improve readers' satisfaction with borrowing and returning books

Readers often have dissatisfaction with the library, mainly due to the following reasons:

1) The efficiency of borrowing and returning books is low, the waiting time in the queue is too long, and the meaningless waste of time leads to dissatisfaction among readers;

2) The barcode cannot be read when borrowing or returning books, which increases the waiting time for readers and leads to dissatisfaction;

3) Due to the lack of effective means to inventory books in the library, readers found a certain book in the collection through the query system, but spent a long time unable to find it, resulting in dissatisfaction with the library;

The key reason why RFID technology can attract attention in the library industry is that it can enable libraries to achieve true automation management. Plus its unique performance and advantages. The application of RFID technology in libraries is in line with the requirements of the times, constantly meeting the needs of readers, and achieving the goal of keeping up with the times in libraries.
