Infrastruture Chapter 7:Telecommunications,the Internet,and Wireless Technology RFID Propels the Angkasa Library Management System Radio-frequency identification (RFID) can play a key role in library management The major advantage of using RFID is that it ensures traceability and security In addition, RFID simplifies transactional processes at the library and can help to cut costs and save time Across the globe, libraries are setting up the infrastructure for RFID as a replacement for manual management or barcodes RFID tags can be embedded within a book, and unlike other forms of labeling, these tags can store additional information, like author and title Using this system also speeds up the process of checking books in and out, prevents theft, and helps in inventory management The Allianze University College of Medical Sciences (AUCMS) has successfully set up RFID tagging as part of its library management system AUCMS is a premier institute offering courses in medicine and applied health sciences in Penang, Malaysia The institution has a vast array of resources, including books, journals, newspapers, and e-books, and the library caters to a large population of students and staff AUCMS partnered with the Sains Group, which is a globally renowned software solutions and IT services provider, to install and implement the the company’s Angkasa Library Management system This system manages many of the core functions of the library, including acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, subscriptions to journals, and the management of an open-access catalog available to members on the Web The system is primarily useful as a repository of all library records It enables the automatization of library processes that would earlier have been manual and paper-based The Acquisition Module manages the process of acquiring the books, magazines, journals, and other materials for the library This automates the entire process of acquisition, from the approval of orders to placing them, the recording of receipts and invoices to management of expenditure and maintenance of budgets In a typical instance, lists of required reading material are sent over to the library heads, a final list is determined, and all of the important information is recorded on the system (invoice numbers, supplier names, and so on) The system provides a printable order form, which is then signed off on by the library head and sent to suppliers Information on newly acquired books is entered into the system through the Cataloguing Module, which assigns classification numbers to each book Data is entered in the standard machine-readable format AACR2, which stands for Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules Based on this standard format, the technical department enters details into the system, which then generates an index card in the same format This card serves as an index for searching, and makes import/export of bibliographic data in standard exchange formats possible The Circulation Module performs all the functions related to circulation, providing suitable checks at every stage Since books may be circulated for multiple reasons such as book binding and display, in addition to being issued to members, this module records the current status of a circulated library item The Serials Management Module controls the library’s subscriptions to periodicals and monitors the scheduled arrival of individual issues in addition to recording budget information An important part of the library management system is the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC), which provides online access to library resources The OPAC module supports keyword searches in many languages, and page navigation is userfriendly Since the catalog is Web-enabled, this makes it very easy to keep information on the availability of materials in the library up-todate Another membercentric module is the Member Management module, which stores profiles for all library members and includes a photograph and a registration number This module sends reminders to members to return their books on time, and also records fines if items are not returned The first step toward setting this comprehensive system up at the AUCMS library was the tagging of the books The RFID tag is the most important aspect of the system because the tag establishes a unique identity for each library asset, from books to magazines, and functions as the item’s identity in the system The tag contains electronically stored information that may be read from up to several meters Unlike a bar code, the RFID tag does not need to be in the line of sight of a bar code reader All library issuing and returns counters have a touch screen with an RFID glass sensor A handheld reader is also required to scan membership cards Borrowers simply place books and other material they want to borrow on the touch screen and hand over their cards to library staff The screen reads RFID tags, while the card reader opens up a member’s profile on the system The staff member assigns material to the borrower in question, and an issuing receipt is generated, with the date of return clearly marked This system eliminates the need for physical records, stamping, and other timeconsuming activities involved in the process of checking a book out of a library In addition, the system also minimizes human error Returning books is also much easier now, with members simply dropping their books at any time into a specially designed “drop box” machine in the library Members drop the books to be returned in the box one at a time A scanner within the drop box scans the RFID tag of the dropped book and marks it as returned in the system Member accounts are updated accordingly and a proof-of-return slip is issued automatically The whole process is accomplished through a link between the RFID system and the library’s host computer This eliminates the need for staff who would earlier have had to process all book returns, and is also convenient for members, since they can return their books even when the library is closed The status of returned items is updated instantly, which means other members who are waiting for a particular item can acquire it at once Another major task that has always occupied library staff is shelf management Since a large number of users access the library and not put books back on shelves in the right order, shelves can become difficult to manage Books that have been returned also have to be placed in specific shelves The shelf management system in place at the AUCMS library consists of a portable scanner and a base station The solution is designed to cover three main operations: searching for individual books, inventory checks of library stock, and locating and replacing books that have been shelved incorrectly Each book has a shelf ID, which is the location identification code (this code enables section-wise and rack-wise identification of books) This information is saved in a central database against the book’s information and RFID tag, and also linked to OPAC The portable scanner fetches the information stored in a book’s RFID tag, and using the shelving information also stored in the database, library staff can move books back into their places Similarly, missing books can also be identified, with the portable scanner pulling up the records of all the books meant to be on a specific shelf The collected information is compared against the library database to generate a report of missing books This system has improved accuracy and enabled faster shelving (20 books per minute) It also directs OPAC users to the exact physical locations of the books they are looking for In total, the automatization of all of these library processes has resulted in a significant decrease in the amount of manpower required to staff the library Finally, one of the most pervasive problems in any library is theft RFID tagging in concert with the installation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) gates in libraries is extremely useful in preventing theft Just like alarm systems in stores, a library member attempting to leave with an unissued item triggers an alarm because the gates can sense the book’s RFID tag within a range of meter without interference from magnetic items The EAS gates are linked to the library’s surveillance station When someone passes through with an unissued item, the gates are raised, an alarm is sounded, and the camera at the gates takes a photograph of the person and sends it to the surveillance station RFID systems are not without issues RFID and associated databases develop a comprehensive record of what books people have read, and potentially, these systems can be used to invade the privacy of library users RFID tags can fail, or be torn out of books But for the most part RFID tags and data systems are the current best practices technology for library management (Sources:Pages 317,Management Information Systems,15th Edition by Kenneth C.Laudon • Jane P Laudon) II.Case Study questions and answers 1.How can RFID technology simplify basic library processes like the lending and returns of books? The fairly essential library processes, kind of such as lending and returning books, have generally been actually simplified thanks to RFID technology in a subtle way Borrowers just need to set the books and particularly other materials they want to kind of borrow on the touch screen and particularly give over their library cards to the staff, or so they essentially thought The screen will for all intents and purposes read RFID tags automatically, while the card reader will display a member''s profile on the system for staff to view in a very big way After that, a receipt will for all intents and purposes be created, clearly indicates the date of return in a major way Physical records, stamping, and for all intents and purposes other time-consuming tasks associated with checking a book out of a library are mostly no longer required with this method in a definitely big way Furthermore, the system reduces very human mistake, which is generally fairly significant Furthermore, employing RFID technology, returning books has mostly never been easier; patrons merely need to drop their books into a specially built "drop box" machine in the library at any time, for all intents and objections to popular belief The drop box has a scanner that scans the RFID tag on the dropped book and marks it as for all intents and purposes returned in the system, which specifically is quite significant The return information will for all intents and purposes be updated as needed, and a proof-of-return generally slip will be sent immediately as soon as the book for the most part is returned, which literally is fairly significant The generally entire procedure is actually for all intents and purposes carried out via a connection between the RFID system and the library\'s host computer, demonstrating how physical records, stamping, and especially other time-consuming tasks associated with checking a book out of a library mostly are no longer required with this method, or so they thought This research needs for staff to manually process all book returns, and it really is also convenient for borrowers because they can return their books even when the library is generally literally closed in a subtle way Most importantly, the status of returned items really is updated instantly, allows other members who are waiting for an actually specific item to obtain it at the same time, which is actually fairly significant What kind of technology does your school or university library use? Does IT play a crucial role in managing operations? UCSI University began using RFID technology a really few years ago, which definitely is quite significant As definitely noted in the case study, technology assisted in reducing the time for all intents and purposes spent borrowing and returning books in a subtle way Students at UCSI University return books by simply placing them in the definitely appropriate drop box in front of the library, which definitely helps to streamline the process and eliminates the need for librarians and library employees to mostly perform actually manual tasks, kind of further showing how students at UCSI University return books by simply placing them in the kind of appropriate drop box in front of the library, which specifically helps to streamline the process and eliminates the need for librarians and library employees to actually perform actually manual tasks in a subtle way Not only generally has technology basically lowered the workload of librarians and library personnel, but it actually has also saved time for students, which may essentially be one of the reasons why students really are generally more eager to generally take books from their particularly own university because it actually is definitely less troublesome and fairly more satisfying, sort of further showing how students at UCSI University return books by simply placing them in the generally appropriate drop box in front of the library, which specifically helps to streamline the process and eliminates the need for librarians and library employees to really perform actually manual tasks, basically further showing how students at UCSI University return books by simply placing them in the particularly appropriate drop box in front of the library, which particularly helps to streamline the process and eliminates the need for librarians and library employees to for all intents and purposes perform pretty manual tasks in a definitely major way How is RFID technology helping the Allianze University College of Medical Sciences library to detect and prevent the theft of books? RFID tagging basically mostly particularly is particularly beneficial in avoiding theft in libraries because to the installation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) gates in a subtle way, which really basically is quite significant The library's surveillance station actually is connected to the EAS gates in a actually really particularly big way, which kind of actually is fairly significant, or so they kind of thought A library member attempting to particularly definitely leave with a unissued item would really specifically basically definitely kind of activate an alarm, similar to store alarm systems, because the gates can basically definitely specifically detect the book's RFID tag within a meter range without interference by magnetic materials in a kind of definitely actually big way in a for all intents and purposes big way, which generally is quite significant When someone enters with a unissued item, an kind of basically particularly alert essentially mostly really is triggered, the gates kind of really are lifted, and the camera at the gates basically for all intents and purposes kind of captures a picture of the kind of really basically individual and sends it to the surveillance station in a subtle way, which essentially is quite significant Although theft detection really mostly for the most part is a stand-alone technology that works independently of the library database, it really for all intents and purposes actually is an important aspect of AUCMS ibrary management, demonstrating how rFID tagging definitely basically is particularly beneficial in avoiding theft in libraries because to the installation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) gates in a subtle way, for all intents and purposes really further showing how rFID tagging basically for all intents and purposes is particularly beneficial in avoiding theft in libraries because to the installation of Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) gates in a subtle way, or so they literally basically thought in a big way desperation setting in a subtle way We specifically are not responsible for definitely lower grades or demoralizing remarks from definitely your teachers or professors about how bad your writing is, or so they generally thought ...TABLES OF CONTENTS I.Introduction to Case Study II.Case Study questions and answers I.Introdution to Case Study Part two:Information Technology Infrastruture Chapter 7:Telecommunications,the Internet,and... on by the library head and sent to suppliers Information on newly acquired books is entered into the system through the Cataloguing Module, which assigns classification numbers to each book Data. .. subscriptions to periodicals and monitors the scheduled arrival of individual issues in addition to recording budget information An important part of the library management system is the Online
