Abstract
Searching and sorting misplaced books is a difficult task often carried out by the library
personnel. Quite often, librarians are busy with searching misplaced books which are
left in wrong locations by library users. It is quite difficult and almost impractical to place
back all books to their assigned locations daily. To overcome this, radio frequency
identification (RFID) based Intelligent shelving system has been proposed to provide an
efficient mechanism of books management monitoring through wireless communication
between the RFID reader and the books. It is quite essential for the proposed system to
have a smooth motion for the RFID reader during the shelving operation; otherwise
acquired data will have no value due to inconsistency in reading the tags.
Consequently, in this paper, the performance of RFID reader motion and tags data
management such as retrieving information, matching with database, sorting out the
order and displaying the status of books locations are discussed. A prototype consisting
of monitoring PC with embedded controller, two dc motors with drivers, RFID reader
and aluminum frame stick on rack have been developed. The performance of the
proposed system has been investigated and found to be satisfactory. And it has a lot of
potential applications, especially in its ability to alleviate the intensive labors and efforts
in shelving cbooks.
