Design and Implementation of Book Tracking System in Library

Abstract

  Library is a vast place which contains increasing number of books. With the growing phase of technology, library needs to be ready for change and should bring the technology in it to retain their student’s interest in visiting the library. People often find it difficult to search a particular book and library staff handles a tedious task in sorting. To overcome these obstacles, a smart book tracking system based on Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology has been proposed. Book tracking system aims in developing an application for the user to track the location of the book in the library. RFID module has been used to locate the book and Arduino controller to control the system. The proposed system uses three modules, the corresponding information is read using RFID reader, the information read is stored in the cloud and finally the cloud information is accessed using android based mobile application.
