Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the very important and advanced technology of the 21st century. RFID help to secure library materials mobilize the circulation process and enhance the user service and reduce theft case, building access control, fast library books tracking, theft prevention these are the advantages of replacing the barcode technology with RFID. RFID technology components.
RFID Gate
RFID gate mainly used for security and user counter purpose. It protects and secure library collection. It also analyses the library traffic patterns with visible user counters. When anyone takes books without issue and went between these gates it gives the alarm and sends the information to the local administrator through the server. It also acts as an antenna.
Self-Circulation Kiosk
RFID workstation is a fast and efficient component of an RFID system to programme and verify RFID tags without the ILMS software. It also helps to the issue, return and renew of the multiple documents at a time with the help of ILMS integrated with it. RFID workstation is of three types, they are mobile (Portable and Small), shielded, and USB.

RFID Handheld Reader (digital library assistance)
It is a cordless handheld device mainly used for stocktaking, re-shelving and findings of library documents. It is compact and easy to use. It reads RFID tags of library document simultaneously and quickly. It identifies items, which not check in or out properly and instantly detect materials caused by an alarm.
RFID Tags
RFID tags are one type of microchips. It consists of two main components one is a silicon chip which contains information about item and other is an antenna which receives and sends signals.
