My Life Goes By My Style

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 Frequ ency 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 shel ving library books.
