RFID TECHNOLOGY:TAGS
The Strategic Plan.
1.0 What is RFID Tags?
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags are the important aspect of this the Library RFID Management System. RFID system commonly store and retrieve the data in the suitable transponder or more commonly known as tag which is machine-readable. As mentioned earlier, RFID use both radio-frequency technology and microchips which can use to replace both EM (electro-mechanical) security strips and barcodes.
RFID tags are normally smaller size making it easier to be attached to the documents especially book pages and it also have high data storing capacity that can range from a few bytes to certain kilobytes.
Most importantly, RFID tags have the ability to store the specific

Types of RFID readers are provided which are designed to detect the information or data stored in the tags and to determine whether the material borrowed have been checked in or out. These 3 types of readers are positioned in 3 different places:
i. Staff workstations for circulation desk charging and discharging ii. Self-check in and out stations iii. Walk-through anti-theft detection gates.
1.2 HARDWARE STRAGETIC PLAN
1. Basically there are 3 types of RFID tags: active tag, passive tag and semi-passive tag but the one suitable for the management of the books in the library will be the passive tags.
• Passive tags usually do not have any battery embedded in it and, the power is supplied by the reader which draws the radio waves through the antennae, thus forming a magnetic field or known as a Radio Frequency (RF) field emitted by a reader device.
• The integrated chip or circuit within this passive tag is designed to absorb radio frequency waves from reader's signals and to send and receive data. When the tag is energized by a radio signal from a fixed positioned reader or a handheld scanner, the tag will signal back the stored information in the item to which it is attached so that it can be easily

However, the lack of security cameras in the library compound would likely deteriorate the well-kept image of the library. This is because, public would definitely want to feel safe and sound when they are in the library to enjoy their time reading, researching and browsing instead of worrying about the safety of their belongings or even about their children going around playing and reading.
• Public come to the library with the intention of spending ample of their time in an advantageous way but the lack of surveillance cameras has made those who were worried about their safety whenever they are here.
• The lack of a proper sensor system or anti-theft detection gates especially at the main entrance of the library also affects the people who visit the library. Absence of an anti-detection system increases the chances of book-theft in the library and the library often would not be able to detect at least what has been stolen. Indirectly these incidents may affect the public who are the users of this library and they would not acknowledge if the materials that they wanted are not
The innovation of the RFID chip or the Radio Frequency Identification has been a critical piece of technology that has been around since the early/mid 20th century (est 1938). Functions of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tagging system involves a tag and a reader. When scanned, the antenna within the tag picks up the radio wave and sends a response back to the reader.

If people were asked to define the importance of the books they would probably state that books are dead or will be dead soon. In “books a dying are? don’t believe it”, Anne Proulx expressed her views books. She suggests “every other week someone says that books are dead or dying”. By analyzing which will focused on a meaning, a form and the style of the essay well reveal that books are not on the way to extinction.
RFID enables real-time tracking of items, safe monitoring and automation of warehouse operations, which can lead to increases in sales volumes and improved profitability for suppliers and retailers (Wong & Guo, 2014, pg.14). There are two main type of RFID currently in use: Active and Passive. Passive RFID tags are used for applications such as access control, file tracking, race timing, supply chain management, smart labels, and more (Smiley, 2016, pg.1). The implementation of RFID for CanIt Inc. will mostly be used for tracking physical goods and products, use of passive RFID will be the most suitable for this
Though many of the people around us enjoy the luxury of having access to libraries and books everyday, that is not the case for the vast majority of people around the world.
Harley-Davidson (H-D) and other companies that have many manufacturing plants or production units and various dealerships may consider implementing RFID technology as a means of increasing the efficiency of all parts of its supply chain. An abstract from Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia describes Radio-frequency identification (RFID), as a technology that uses radio waves to transmit data and uniquely identify an animal, person or thing. This case study looks at the potential use of RFID technology to replace bar codes and scanners in Harley-Davidson supply chain. It indentifies some pros and cons of its implementation and addresses the question – What are some of the issues Harley-Davidson will face in comparison with those experienced by other companies such as Wall-Mart when they tried to implement RFID in their supply chains. Finally it will present a timetable for the adoption of RFID technology by Harley-Davidson in its supply chain.
A) RFID refers to radio-frequency identification and it belongs to Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) group of technology. This technology is able to scan objects automatically, collect data about the objects and store those data straightforward into the computer systems, this is done with almost no help from human. As seen in the picture below, there are 3 components in this system which help it to achieve all this work, these are RFID tag or label, RFID reader and an antenna. Inside every RFID tag or label, it contains a micro-chip known as integrated circuit and an antenna to transmit these data to RFID reader. The RFID reader's antenna is then start to give out electromagnetic wave in order to receive tag antenna. Once it
The simplest of task have been made simpler, yet not only is this the future but it’s the now. Radio Frequency identification technology is technology that was created from Identification friend or foe or other wise known as (IFF). This later brought to life RFID, (Radio-Frequency Identification). The purpose of RFID varies has multiple purpose and multiple looks, but the results are all the same. There are multiple looks and shapes to these tags, some come in stickers, plastic, and even chips that would be implanted. Originally During World War 2 a British engineer Watson-Watt, developed the first active identify friend or foe (IFF). The purpose was to identify aircrafts that where returning to base. According to rfidjournal.com, IFF either reflects back a signal or broadcasts a signal. Thus creating RFID the modern tracker. The sizes of the transmitters varied from plane to plane, but ground troops had special readers that allowed them to identify the aircrafts. The implications of these modern methods of tracking later led to develop RFID tags. During the 50’s and 60’s the worlds scientist begun to research how advancements in radio frequency could be harnessed, it became emanate that this advancement would be used to track packages for consumers world wide. The first patents for RFID was America Mario W. Cardullo, he claims to have the first United States patent for an RFID tag with rewritable memory during 1973. That same year, a man named Charles Walton, received a patent for a RFID tag to unlock a door without a key. The RFID tag had an embedded transponder, which communicated a signal to a reader near the door. When the reader picked up a valid identity, the reader unlocked the door. Ultimately this advancement is soon t...
...s the radio frequency identification systems (RFID) where the information can be read by a radio frequency link. (FSA, 2002)
A book is a published composition having illustrated and printed sheets made of ink or paper parchments hinged at one side. Despite the fact that there are thousands of books being published today, the existence of the digital world is slowly changing published books into digital forms (electronic books). An electronic book is a book publication that exists in the internet and is easily accessible on a CD-ROM. Advanced technology has led to discovery of user-friendly electronic appliances that make accessibility of digital books much easier than before. This essay provides a lucid discussion on the future of printed books in the fast evolving digital world using two reliable researches performed by professional researchers.
3. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a new tech innovation. These are tags attached to an in-store product to transmit data about that item to nearby devices.
There has been many barriers to overcome with the use of smart cards, such as deposit insurance liability, data accuracy, transaction anonymity, risk of fraud. The software company, Sun Microsystems’ Java software removes or reduces many of the problems that were experienced by the implementation of smart cards. Java is now the standardized company used because it provides many advantages in its security, network awareness. Java has become the largest smart card application developer.
There are a lot of sources of information which provide readings in many mass mediums such as books, encyclopedias, newspapers, brochures and many more. In line with the advanced progress of technology, readings also could be done digitally on computer screen. Up to date, electronic books or much simpler to be known as Ebooks are preferable in search of wide range of information. Referring to Viloria, (2008) “Ebooks are form of texts, pictures, video and even audio comprised into an electronic file. For instance, a document typed in Microsoft Word is one of the examples of an ebook” (p.1) They are extant in different formats for example PDF, PDA and EXE-compiled HTML format. This type of on-screen documents increasingly used because of their vast vantages compared to conventional printed textbooks. This essay which entitled “The Positive Impacts of Ebooks” explicates several impacts, which means strong effects of electronic books towards various issues.
Do teachers change when an administrator evaluates them? Do parents worry too much about their kids being in school? Have many students around the world been falsely accused of something they didn’t do? All of these problems can be eliminated with one little piece of technology hanging from the ceiling. That little piece of technology is a surveillance camera which can be placed almost anywhere. Many schools are determining whether or not to install security cameras in classrooms. Those who have, have seen dramatic changes in teachers, students, and even parents. Cameras have many helpful factors. For instance, cameras can be used to train future teachers, broadcast to students at home, and deal with bullying. Having cameras in a classroom environment are beneficial for students, teachers, parents, and schools because they hold teachers accountable, help students improve their behavior, and evaluate teacher and student interactions.
Even though e-books where not in the mass market, the e-book can be found dated back to the early 1970’s , but e-readers did not show up until the late 1990’s which made a big advancement in e-books (Avant 128-129). In 1999, it was projected that the future of e-books brought controversy to people over whether they would bring good or bad possibilities. The possibility of space on shelves in libraries allowing them to have enough room for printed books would be one advantage. It was projected that books could be downloaded from the internet at anytime, but this presented the possibility of not having space on the internet, since it provides only provides limited amount of space in memory for the item to be stored. But if it was solely relied on and the old print copies were discarded, losing all the information is a dangerous possibility. For
