ELEGANT LIBRARY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING RFID

AIM:

The aim of this project is to implement library management system by maintaining

database for issuing and returning of books.

PURPOSE:

The main objective of this Project is to use the smart card as a secured token to issue
the books in the Library.

DESCRIPTION:

Whenever student needs any book from the Library to be issued, he needs to
insert his smart card into the Smart Card Reader placed in the Library. The controller checks

whether the student got membership or not (Smart Card Validation) by communicating with
Smart Card Reader. If the Card is proved to be valid then the student is allowed else buzzer will
buzz.
An RFID tag is attached into the book with the relevant information like book name,
book number etc. The detailed information regarding the book is also captured in the
microcontroller. The communication between the microcontroller and Smart Card Reader is
through Serial Communication. The MAX-232 forms the driver between the Card reader and
controller then the student details are displayed on LCD which is interfaced to the
microcontroller.

The book is issued to the student and a bookmark is stored in the EEPROM
interfaced to microcontroller ,when the student returning from the library, bookmark check by
the RFID reader and the controller checks whether the book details are valid or not if not valid
then buzzer sound will buzz.

TECHNOLOGY:

RFID:

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the latest technology that is being adopted to
track and trace materials, including books. RFID based Library Management System has been
implemented in most of the reputed libraries across the globe. RFID interfaced library
management system, along with smart card issued to the users are being implemented to
automate the library functions and make the inventory management process efficient and
effective. The system improves the tracking of books and documents so that the books can be
more quickly located, the document workflow more easily tracked and transaction records are
seamlessly captured.
SMART CARD:

A smart card is an integrated circuit card that forms a part of a circuit or system
when engaged with a smart card interface. Smart cards are becoming increasingly more popular
for security and personal identification applications. Smart cards have one or more
microcontrollers embedded in them which manage to access and storage of sensitive data that is
actually stored in memory devices on the smart card.

 The smart chip included on a smart card provides a means for secured electronic
transactions and a means for identification. The integrated chip is embedded in the smart card
and operates to process specific transactions. The smart card uses a serial interface and receives
its power from an external source such as a smart card reader.
