2 | Atharva Publications USE OF RFID TECHNOLOGY FOR LIBRARY SECURITY - Yogesh Prakash Surwade Abstract Now a day’s ‘Technology’ is the boon for everyone in every field. Particular in LIS field, Library services have improved due to the technological improvement. Among the application in libraries, RFID and Smart card is attractive and found very useful by LIS professional reference to information security in libraries. This technology that is RFID technology is a wireless technology for the libraries. A new RFID project, place privacy and security high on the list of non-functional requirements and track negative public perception as a risk to project. This technology is same as bar-coding system but it is very much refined and improved then bar-coding system. In this paper we present about various components of RFID, operations, advantages and essential requirements. Keywords : RFID, Security system, RFID tags, RFID Technology Introduction Radio Frequency Identification Technology is the latest technology, used for library Information inventory functions and theft detection system. It uses radio waves to identify individual items automatically and can be used anywhere that needed a unique identification, RFID is a generic term that is used to describe a system that transmits the identify at an object or person wirelessly, using radio waves RFID is a next generation of Auto Identification and Data Collection (AIDC) technology which helps you automate business process. RFID is a means of identifying a person or object using a radio frequency transmission. RFID: An Overview The Origin of RFID technology has been understood since 1930’s emerged out from the concept of “mirror–sunlight–reflection”. For centuries we have known how to communicate message with just a mirror by flashing the suns reflection in the direction of recipient, so that message can be sent through air, simply by reflecting radiated sunlight. The basic theory behind RFID is same, but different is here, 1
