5. RFID Benefits
Stock management
Libraries…
Operations such as managing material on the shelves, identifying
missing & mishelved items are streamlined and taking stocks regularly
will be feasible
Improved patron services
Spending minimal time on circulation operations allows library staff to
assist patrons
Routine patron services are not disturbed even when libraries are
facing staff shortages & budget cuts
Flexibility and modularity
Ability to add newer products and features as finances and customer
needs dictate
Security
Library item identification & security bit is combined into a single tag,
there by eliminating the need to attach an additional security strip

6. RFID Benefits
Library Staff…
Less time needed for circulation operations
Implementing RFID will considerably reduce the amount of time required
to issue, receive, transport, sort & shelve library materials
Efficient Inventory management
Inventory management can be done using a handheld reader without
closing the library and is at least 20 times faster compared to existing
barcode based system
Reducing Repetitive Stress Injuries (RSI)
RFID based system reduces repetitive scanning of individual items at
the circulation desk during check in, check out and hence avoids RSI such
as carpal tunnel syndrome
Taking inventory in a RFID based system doesn’t require physical
deshelving & shelving of library materials
