Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the implementation of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology for enhancing efficiency in library management systems. The integration of RFID technology in libraries has gained significant attention due to its potential to streamline operations, improve security, and enhance user experience. The study aims to explore the benefits and challenges associated with the adoption of RFID technology in library settings, with a focus on optimizing resource utilization and enhancing service delivery. The thesis begins with an introduction that provides an overview of RFID technology and its applications in libraries. The background of the study outlines the growing need for modernizing library systems to meet the evolving demands of users in the digital age. The problem statement highlights the deficiencies in traditional library management practices and identifies the gaps that RFID technology can address. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the impact of RFID technology on library operations, assess user perceptions and satisfaction, and identify best practices for successful implementation. The literature review delves into existing research on RFID technology in libraries, covering topics such as system architecture, data security, inventory management, and user privacy. The review synthesizes findings from various studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of RFID adoption in library settings. The research methodology section outlines the research design, data collection methods, and analysis techniques employed in the study. It discusses the sampling strategy, data sources, and tools used for data analysis. The chapter also elaborates on ethical considerations and limitations encountered during the research process. The discussion of findings chapter presents the results of the study, including the impact of RFID technology on library operations, user perceptions, and challenges faced during implementation. The findings are analyzed in relation to the research objectives and existing literature to draw meaningful conclusions. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the significance of RFID technology in enhancing efficiency and user experience in library management. It provides recommendations for libraries considering the adoption of RFID technology and suggests areas for future research to further explore the potential of RFID in library settings. In summary, this thesis contributes to the body of knowledge on RFID technology in library management and offers practical insights for libraries seeking to modernize their systems. The findings underscore the importance of leveraging technological innovations to meet the changing needs of library users and improve overall service delivery.
