RFID Based Library Management System

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) devices have importance in our daily life and they will become appearing in the near future. There is a tremendous growth in the industry to use RFID technology in the recent years. Research and development in this field has made this technology to be used in supply chain management, attendance management, library management, automated toll collection etc. RFID is an electronic technology whereby digital data encoded in an RFID tag is retrieved utilizing a reader. In contrast to bar code technology, RFID systems do not require line-of-sight access to the tag in order to retrieve the tag’s data. Passive RFID is sure to replace bar codes in library applications.

              In our project, we are using arduino Atmega328 microcontroller to process the data. The RFID Reader with few tags. The tags are attached to different books. When the tag is flashed in front of the reader. The related information is stored in SD Card with data and time using RTC (DS1307). The recorded information can be viewed at any time in PC. The information is displayed on 16×2 LCD.

RFID based Library Management System is a unique system to be implemented in libraries to manage the books automatically and efficiently. It will use the RFID reader to identify and manage the books efficiently. Time saving, fast accessing of books and eliminating manual errors.
