RFID- Application in Info-Documentary Systems

Abstract

The automatization process in all industrial and social fields requires large amounts of data processing. Data Acquisition and Control Solutions can be improved by collecting and processing data in real-time without human involvement through Automatic Identification or Auto ID. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID - Radio Frequency Identification) or proximity is the latest and most advanced method automatic data collection technology, gaining a wide acceptance as people understand and use this technology. With the advent of RFID technology, RFID has been introduced in the library. The free and efficient use of the newest resources of the information technology is a big step toward to the public free and rapid access to information and to the global documentation with high quality. Transilvania University of Brasov proposed a model of harvesting, digitizing, indexing, storing and retrieving information using the principles of open access to information and the advantages of using open access sources. The model is projected so that it should allow integration within an integrated system by using RFID technology for documents accounts, circulation and periodical inventory, achieving, with a minimum cost price, the computerization of small libraries in universities research departments and visible improvement of the department scientific production by publishing the staff’s papers in open access. The proposed solution offers the model with a minimum cost using open sources software and it offers a useful instrument for the university researchers opening new opportunities for master students and PhD students.
