Development of a Hybrid Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Biometric Based Library Management System

This paper presents a smart library management system based on the combination of RFID technology and biometric recognition system to improve the efficiency of conventional library management. In particular, the proposed design combines radio frequency identification (RFID) and Biometric technology to enhance user processing time, improve user service, curtail book theft, and maintain continuous update of new books and to further increase the biometric security of the system against an imposter. Using MySQL, internet of things (IoT), and Java programming, we design a system that provides the user with unrestricted access to online library facilities with a personal computer or mobile devices. For improved efficiency, the proposed design is integrated with an SMS and email alert notification system. The proposed design thus allows the user to access books and course materials from a remote location in an authenticated and secured manner. The system performance was compared with the manual method in terms of book positioning function, false rejection rate, false acceptance rate, counting efficiency, average time spent in booking searching and the result show that the proposed system outperforms the conventional (manual) library system
