Abstract: – This project involves discovering a new way altogether for the identification of books and finding a lost book in a library. Today, what we use to keep the track of books is the old and outdated barcode technology, which generally involves providing each book with a unique barcode and then scanning all books one by one just to find that particular book. The new method suggested from the groundwork of our research is the usage of RFID technology for this tiresome and time taking job. The new method involves usage of electronic tags to store identification data and a wireless transmitter or reader to capture it. The results seen during the testing has been good and several organizations are mandating to use RFID to track asset.

I. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this research is to replace an outdated technology having many faults and a high rate of failure due to either poor image quality or because of flawed data quality. Barcodes mainly fail because of poor shrink wrapping, poor print quality, violation of quiet zones and certain colour combinations.
We are replacing the barcode technology with a much efficient, much prominent, distinguished and illustrious technique of Radio Frequency Identification. RFID tagging is an identification system which uses small radio frequency identification devices for tracking purposes. This system involves the tag itself, a read/write device and a host system application for data collection, processing and transmission. A passive tag is briefly activated by the radio frequency scan of the reader. The electric current is small, just enough for transmission of an ID number. Active tags consist of more memory and can be read at greater ranges. Usage of this technology can bring radical changes in the field of identification and tracking but this is somewhat controversial because of tags getting cloned or used for illicit tracking.
