ILM - IoT based Library Management System
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryAn IoT based Library Management System is to be designed for the efficient management of books in the library. The system will be fully automated and will facilitate both the librarian and the user/student. An RFID card will be issued to the library members which will be scanned at the entrance.
A flutter mobile application will be developed to have access to the complete database of the library. The user can search for books of the library through this application. The books of interest can be reserved from home also. Each book will have an RFID tag and will be RFID scanned at the self-checking counter. It will be automatically issued to the students for a specific period. The mobile application will also keep the record of the books issued, to whom issued and fines in case of a delay in return.
Messages will be automatically generated on the return date of books. When returned the book will again RFID scanned, and the database will be updated.
Project Objectives- Library Automation using RFID.
- RFID based Entry/Exit authentication.
- Develop Mobile application.
- Automatic Issuance & Return of books.
- Access to Library’s database from anywhere.
The library members will be issued unique RFID cards which will be scanned at the entrance by an RFID Reader RC522. This information will be received and verified by the microcontroller Esp32 to prevent unauthorized entry to the library.
Every book will also have a unique RFID sticker operating at 13.56 MHz. The book selected will be scanned at the self-checking counter by the RF-ID Reader. The data obtained from reader will be sent to Esp32 for further processing. The data base will be automatically updated with the issue of the book to the library member.
A mobile application will be developed to create easy access to the database of the books of the library. It will contain the information regarding the book name, the record of the books issued, to whom issued and the date of return. It can send alerts to the members for the date of return and generate alarms in case of being late or fines.
The library members can search for books through this application as it can be accessed from anywhere because of its availability on the cloud.
Benefits of the ProjectLibrary promotes curiosity, innovation, and critical thinking. It endorses desirable study habits in students. A library is truly integral to the teaching and learning processes. It stimulates interest in subjects and widens the horizon.
The Library management system can be easily implemented in schools, colleges, private, public libraries, and other organizations. Here are some of the benefits of integrating cloud-based library management system in your institution:
It will make the library users and staff’s task easy, smart, convenient, and practical with high degree of automation. The precious time of library members waiting for their turn in a queue for borrowing, returning, or renewing the borrowing of a book, and even searching the availability of the books in the library will be saved.
The library members can remotely check the availability of books. The system provides mobile access to search the library catalogue, books, and resources from anywhere, at any given time via smartphones and tablets.
The library staff can trace and track the persons who borrowed the books. The record keeping is entirely automatic, and the database will be constantly updated.
An intelligent library management system will therefore provide better quality of service and will provide quick and effective benefits to both the library management and the students/users.
