1.1RFID Library Project Profile
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification System) is a "wireless radio frequency identification system". It is a non-contact automatic identification technology. It is the use of radio waves to identify the mark on the target for wireless data identification and access to relevant information.
Library RFID system is the application of RFID technology in the field of library management to help readers quickly borrow the library, fast return of books, rapid collection of data inventory, books automatically rack, frame, frame, and security features such as security.
1.2RFID library role
Over the years, books have been borrowed and replenished, problems such as quick stocktaking, searching, and messing up of books have plagued library management and staff. Meihe Science and Technology rely on strong RFID technology strength, after years of research and development efforts, formed a series of library equipment, greatly improve the management style, improve work efficiency, reduce the labor intensity of managers, for library applications provide a complete solution .
Construction of RFID library. Through the RFID system to identify, track and protect all the information of the library to achieve book borrowing, staring, searching, inventory inventory intelligence, the purpose is to greatly improve the efficiency of library data processing.
Through RFID wireless radio frequency technology and the connection with the existing library automation system, the self-service system can be smoothly and smoothly docked with it so as to automate the management of book materials, speed up the counting of books, increase the circulation rate of books, and more effectively display book materials Information transfer function.
Through the construction of the RFID system of the library, it will simplify the reader's borrowing process, improve the circulation efficiency, greatly reduce the inventory of books and find the workload, liberate the library staff from the complicated and repetitive work, and make it more effective and targeted Conduct personalized reader services to enhance the quality of library services.
1.3RFID library system content and structure
The construction of this project mainly includes two aspects: the installation and debugging of RFID system equipment and the planning and implementation of the RFID system supporting software. These two aspects are combined with each other, with the scientific and reasonable management mechanism as the guarantee, and the construction of a world-leading RFID book Library application system, and strive to build a modern library with rich digital resources, advanced management level, diverse service types, innovative service means, convenient readers, safe and reliable system and scalability.
The library RFID system consists of RFID hardware, computer integrated equipment and software. The RFID hardware is connected with the computer integrated equipment through a standard serial port or a USB interface to form a terminal of the RFID system of the library. The terminal of the RFID system is connected with the terminal software and the library management system service center Connection, the physical connection for the network connection or data copy exchange. Terminal software and library management system service center connection to comply with the library industry-related protocols and computer network protocols.
1.4RFID library configuration
The program uses the internationally renowned Chuangyi RFID tags and provides a complete set of hardware solutions around RFID tags: RFID librarian workstation, RFID tag conversion station, quick loan system equipment, RFID handheld point inspection device, security door system equipment ( RFID).
1.5RFID library design principles
Openness
All products should have an open standard interface, API or communication protocol, architecture, resource construction and service design adhere to the principle of openness.
Standard
System technology to follow international standards, national standards, industry and related specifications.
scientific
The adjustment of the performance indicators and design adhere to the principles of science and operability.
Reliability
System construction and strive to use advanced and reliable network technology, application platforms and development tools, network systems, hardware and software systems have a longer life cycle, to ensure system performance and stability.
safety
System design fully consider all kinds of security risks to ensure the safe operation of the library.
Simplify the borrowing process
Although the existing loan-and-repayment process introduces a barcode scanning system, it still needs to manually open the title page of the book and find the location of the barcode before scanning the barcode. This procedure is more complicated operation, borrowing and returning books inefficient. At the same time, the bar code is easily damaged, and often the bar code can not read the need to change the bar code. This will not only affect the efficiency of borrowing and returning books, but also affect the readers' satisfaction with the library. Therefore, the introduction of advanced reading and writing technology in order to achieve intelligent book borrowing process, improve the safety of information storage, reliability of information read and write, borrowing and returning high-speed book is imminent.
Reduce inventory and find workload
Rely on manual book inventory, heavy workload and low efficiency. Administrators to their own memories of the books classified placement and recording, time-consuming but difficult to achieve the goal. Need to introduce advanced technology to achieve intelligent inventory books.
Improve anti-theft system security
The existing library magnetic stripe anti-theft system is less accurate, and the magnetic stripe easily be weakened, so the risk of false positives and false negatives. Therefore, there is a need to improve existing bookblocks and adopt more reliable anti-theft technologies.
Change the borrowing management and security out of touch with the situation
Library anti-theft system is still an isolated system, the books before going back to the shelves and after going through the magnetic processing, lending to degaussing process, a heavy workload, a direct impact on the book circulation and management efficiency. In the discovery of theft can not record theft book information at the same time, the daily inventory of books, fill a great deal of work. Therefore, the existing management system needs to be improved, the anti-theft system and the book circulation management system linked to record the history of each library out of the library, which can be borrowed and returned to match the history record.
Improve library staff satisfaction
Librarians' repetitive labor over the years and the heavy workload of the library itself make it easy for library staffs to produce certain negative thoughts on library work. Due to management flaws, library management They also suffered a lot. They also expressed their dissatisfaction with the library, which led to a decrease in library staff's satisfaction with library work. Through the technological transformation of the library management system, technical means can be used to remedy the management flaws, and at the same time to free the staff from the heavy and repetitive work of the library.
Improve readers' satisfaction with borrowing books
Readers often have dissatisfaction with the library, the main reasons are the following:
1) The efficiency of borrowing and returning books is low, the waiting time in queue is too long, the unnecessary waste of time leads to the dissatisfaction of readers;
2) barcode can not be read out by borrowing books, increasing reader waiting time, resulting in readers are not satisfied;
3) Because there is no effective way for the library to count the books, the reader can find a book in the collection through the inquiry system. However, it takes a long time but can not find the book. The reason may be that the book was stolen, but because of the management The system does not accurately record the results lead to the reader is not satisfied with the library;
Through the above analysis, we can sum up many problems in the current library management work. Many of the inconveniences borrowed by the readers are due to the defects of the bar code technology currently used. If using RFID, bar code technology can achieve many of the features that can not be achieved, thereby enhancing the library management system functions and system reliability.
