Drawbacks of Barcode Technology: Barcode readers require a direct line of sight, using laser
technology
Scan and read one tag at a time and also time consuming
Human intervention is required to scan a barcode It should be visible on the product for scanning
Does not have read/write memory
The readability of the barcode can be impaired by dirt,
moisture, abrasion and packaging etc.. Less read range & Holds fixed and Limited data.
Technology is old and outdated
cannot read a bar code if there is any obstacle between the
reader and the bar code

Patrons:
Patrons will spend less time waiting in check-outlines by using Self Check in - Check out systems.
Patrons find what they are looking for quickly &
easily. Reminders for due dates allows patrons to submit
borrowed materials in time.
Uses of book drops & return chutes for returninglibrary material, allows for flexible timings.
RFID enabled patron cards allows for easy patron
identification.
BENEFITS to PATRONS

RFID technology is taking off in libraries at anincreasingly rapid pace. It is easy to envision that,
the RFID tag contents will increase in power,
prices are expected to decline and tag will
dramatically improve its efficiency, security and
accuracy.
