| Abstract: | |
| There are numerous manual library workflow activities that people do in libraries, such as labeling, accessing, sorting, shelving, and searching. Using RFID technology, our application provides a librarian-less system that handles transactions quickly without delay. In addition to not having to hunt for books in shelves, students will have easy access to a smart library management application. | |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? | |
| In Pakistan, there is currently no library without a librarian. Using RFID, we will be able to issue or get books with the help of a librarian. We provide a hardware/software based solution to access books information on the fly with a mobile application. The system will be simple and easy to use. | |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? | |
| Libraries in educational institutions need application that adapts to technological change and the needs of students as they change. | |
| How will the solution works | |
| The solution work by first enabling the users to log in the system to then displays the dashboard providing them modules which are: Search function in the library that allows users to search books, Book availability where admin can see what is in the library, Module for tracking members, A module to track the movements of books with RFID, Barcoding module to give identification to each book, and Fee Management where the software calculates the fine due for non-return or lost and damaged books. | |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different | |
| Aleph, Progeny Library Junior, & Flascan, our competitors, provide similar features as we do, but we track books through RFID, deploy the app both on Android and Web, and provide a free version of the app. | |
