TITLE : TRANSFORMING LIBRARY SERVICES THROUGH RFID: A STEP TOWARDS SMART LIBRARIES

ABSTRACT: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is rapidly transforming traditional library operations into streamlined, efficient, and user-friendly systems. As libraries evolve to meet the demands of the digital age, RFID plays a pivotal role in automating routine tasks such as circulation, inventory control, and security management. This paper explores how RFID technology is being integrated into library services to create smart libraries that enhance user satisfaction, improve staff productivity, and ensure better resource management. It also discusses the benefits, challenges, and future prospects of RFID implementation, along with real-world examples from academic and public libraries. The study highlights how RFID is not just a technological upgrade but a strategic move towards modernizing libraries to remain relevant and efficient in the 21st century.
