The Indian Institute of Technology Madras was established in 1959 by government of India as institute of national importance. The central library also started functioning from year 1959 from Department of civil engineering, in 1965 it shifted to current building of Department of Management studies and finally in front of administrative building in year 2000.
The Need to implement the system arises due to the following factors:
- Expanding electronic information environment
- Need for web based services
- Diversified user’s information thrust.
- Explosive growth of information
- Standardization
- E-Collections Building.
- Digital Rights Management
- Digital Preservation
- Security in Digital Libraries
Advantages of RFID implementation :
- It provides effective and efficient library detection system
- It has provided full autonomy to users in library transactions. They can issue and return the books as and when they need irrespective of the availability of staff.
- It has improved users satisfaction substantially.
- It has enhanced the security level of collections.
- It has removed various repetitive work carried out by the staff.
- It has enabled us to update the database in real time environment.
- It offers very high security. Each tag is identified by a Unique Identification Number (UIN), which can be either factory or manually programmed and then password protected. The excellence of this tag is that the data on the chip that uses sophisticated algorithm techniques cannot be duplicated or manipulated. Hence making it the perfect tool for Secure Access Control.
- The potential problems associated with substandard print quality of barcodes, which in turn leads to scanning and reading problems
- It has enabled self check in/Check out System
- Implementation of RFID System in Central library
