Local library bidding RFID read-write equipment

Recently, a China Northen city named Binzhou under Shandong provice, the municipal library issued its procurement requirements, plans to purchase a number of RFID reading and writing equipment (self-service card borrowing and returning machine, RFID dual-channel access control, book sterilization machine, lifting and returning car, inventory car, intelligent bookcase), the budget of more than 1.2 million.

1, The traditional library book management method faces many difficulties, which become more prominent with the development of information technology and the diversification of readers' needs. The following are some of the main difficulties: the complexity of collection management:

2, The traditional library collection of books, classification, cataloging, shelving, maintenance and other management tasks, and error-prone, especially when the collection is huge, the management of the difficulty increases significantly.

3, Inefficient book circulation: The traditional book lending process is cumbersome, including the steps of readers looking for books, filling out lending sheets, and staff handling lending procedures, which is not only time-consuming, but also prone to human error. In addition, the re-shelving of books after their return also requires a lot of manpower, which affects the efficiency of book circulation.

4, Space and resource constraints: Physical libraries have limited space, and as the number of books continues to increase, storage space gradually becomes a bottleneck. At the same time, libraries also have resource constraints in terms of opening hours and the number of service staff, making it difficult to meet the growing and diversified needs of readers.

5, Inconvenient information retrieval: Although traditional libraries will provide search tools such as catalog indexes, their search efficiency and accuracy are low compared to modern digital search systems. Readers may need to spend a long time in searching for specific books, especially in libraries with large collections.

6, Diversification of readers' needs and insufficient personalized services: with the progress of society and the improvement of readers' quality, readers' needs for library services are becoming more and more diversified and personalized. However, traditional libraries are deficient in providing personalized services, such as borrowing and returning books after the library closes at night.

Real-time update: RFID system can update the book inventory information in real time to help library managers better grasp the collection and optimize purchasing decisions.

2. Enhance the efficiency of book circulation self-service borrowing and returning: RFID technology can realize the self-service borrowing and returning of books, readers only need to place the books on the RFID equipment, the system can automatically identify and complete the borrowing and returning operation, greatly saving time and improving the circulation efficiency. Fast return to the shelf: using RFID technology, administrators can quickly find and return books to the correct location, reducing the book wrong shelf, chaotic shelf phenomenon.

3. Optimization of information retrieval fast retrieval: RFID technology can achieve rapid retrieval of books, readers can quickly find the location of the books they need through the RFID reader. Convenient service: Through self-service borrowing and returning, online reservation and other convenient services, RFID technology can meet the diverse needs of readers.
