Abstract— Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is
another age of Auto Identification and Data gathering
innovation which computerizes business forms and permits
ID of huge number of labeled articles like books, utilizing
radio waves. RFID based Library Management framework
(LMS) would permit quick exchange stream for the library
and will demonstrate prompt and long haul advantages to
library in discernibility and security. The proposed
framework depends on UHF RFID reader, upheld with
recieving wires at entryway and work area segments, and
library cards containing RFID-transponders which can
electronically store data that can be perused/composed even
without the physical contact with the assistance of radio
medium. This paper displays the analysis directed to set up
RFID based Library management system.

the subtleties of the procedure utilized for executing the
framework; Sector 4 reaches the inference about the strength

A. Block Diagram

Inside the reader resides the antenna. It produces an

electromagnetic field. Whenever a tag comes close to the
electromagnetic field it gets activated and by producing
radio signals it can read and write data to the reader.
Antenna acts as a means of communication between the tag
and the reader.
RFID cards which we are using are of frequency of
13.56MHz.These cards are the passive cards.
Tags are thin labels that can be fixed in the back cover of a
book. RFID tags consist of a carbonic structure containing
inside the tag a magnetic strip or coil layer that helps to
detect the tags. This magnetic layer within the tag helps to
generate the magnetic field. The tag contains a unique serial
number such as "0600394791 000345" used for user
authentication.

and and the books automatically are adjusted for return
against the user’s name.

The reader antenna senses the tag and checks for the unique
serial number of the tag when we bring the tag in front of
the reader or in close proximity to the reader. If the tag is
registered in the database of the reader, the reader will
authenticate the tag otherwise the reader will show an error
and will give the message that the tag is not registered or
that the tag is not authenticated.
Three types of tags are available: read only, WORM, and
read / write. Tags are "read only" if they are encoded and not
rewritable at the time of manufacture. "WORM" (Write-
Once-Read-Many)tags are programmed by the organization
that uses them, but later without the ability to rewrite the
data. "Tags for reading / writing,"
