RFID-Based Library Management System with Android Mobile Access Application

摘要

Manual processes in libraries fail to deal with the current demands of requests for information and find it difficult to comply with the amount of requests from users for books and other library services. Thus, this study presents the used of RFID in library management system, as well as the broader accessibility through the Android mobile application. It also offers handling and managing library routine processes that are generally not available in other library management systems, in particular, the capability of library consortium associated with different libraries to share resources. First, the framework of the study between the front end and back end of the system was synthesized. Then different evaluators were surveyed about the way the library management system functions. The system performance attributes are defined using the functionality, usability, reliability, performance and security (FURPS) model. The mean formula was used to analyze the data. The functionality, reliability, performance and security were evaluated perfectly acceptable with a weighted mean of 4.73, 4.58, 4.66 and 4.63 respectively. Furthermore, the usability was given an acceptable evaluation rating with a weighted mean of 4.50. The overall quality of the system was given a perfectly acceptable with a weighted mean of 4.62 thus proves that the used of RFID was successfully implemented in the library management system and the web and mobile application was successfully developed in managing library resources and tasks.
