Abstract

Library Management & Library Security are the important factors leading to the satisfaction of a Library user. This can be greatly improved by utilizing effective technologies in Libraries. Libraries have accepted this challenge and started using electromagnetic systems, in spite of all constraints at their end. The usage of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology in Libraries for document identification, self check in and check out, and stock verification can improve the overall process and user satisfaction as well as the security. Even though new technologies offer new features and benefits, it is better to see the pitfalls. Thus the needs of actually investing in this technology are also discussed. This paper explains how and why electromagnetic system technology is used in Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) library. At the same time it also focuses on Implementation of RFID Technology in Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU).
