Chapter 1 The puzzle and its Background Introduction The term RFID refers to communicate Frequency Identification, a technology which uses intercommunicate waves to automatically nominate items or people. Most comm tho this involves the use of an RFID check off and a sound discoverer doodad. In general terms, communicate Frequency Identification dodges consist of an RFID brand (typically many tags) and an interrogator or reader. The interrogator emits a sphere of electromagnetic waves from an antenna, which be absorbed by the tag. The absorbed energy is apply to power the tags microchip and a signal that includes the tag identification number is sent back to the interrogator.The use of a wireless non-contact carcass that uses radio frequencyelectromagnetic fieldsto direct data from a tag attached to an object, for the purposes of automatic identification and furrowing. Some tags require no battery and are powered and read at short ranges via magnetic fields (electrom agnetic induction). Backround of the Study Tanauan impart has already been using the subroutine program subroutine library system. Since the origin is already using much(prenominal) technology, these lead be the first clock for the institution to use Radio Frequency Identification.The researchers thought of maximizing its use by creating a constitution that go out track the school-age childs who borrowed books, which pull up stakes be having RFID stickers for monitoring purposes, in the library. Currently, the schools library is using the Library System in monitoring the books, which has a number of limitations. It is not assail fit of generating reports that fagful determine the books that are mostly borrowed which slew inspection and repair them decide on the number of a particular book they will be get in the future. It is besides using Micro easygoing Visual Basic for the frames database which pile only insert very limit info.On the other hand, the sy stem that the library is using in recording the att force outance of the drug users cannot help them in identifying the library users of the month. The librarians compulsion to manually count the number of times each student had logged in the system. Lastly, they receive excessively no means of reminding the library users regarding their borrowed book Statement of the Problem Not cap fitting of generating reports that can determine the books that are mostly borrowed. No means of reminding the library users regarding slightly their borrowed books. Manual numeration the number of times each student had logged in the system. Objectives of the StudyGenerally, the researchers bewilder to jut out and develop a system that would enhance the use of the current Library System with the help of RFID in the s incite Institute. Specifically, the story aims to fool and develop a system that will move over reports to determine the trend in book borrowing Use MySQL for the systems dat abase Determine the library users of the month in just a blabber of a freeing Remind the students and faculty members regarding their borrowed books Test and rate the systems accuracy and reliability Scope and Delimitation There would be some limitations to the project that should be taken into consideration.This study limits its insurance goage to the students of the Tanauan Institute only. It will be conducted for two semesters which consists of 10 months. Two low frequency ACR122U Smart pecker Readers will be employ for the system one for the monitoring of books and the other one for the recording of the attendance. The system will be written in Microsoft Visual Basic 2010. The database that will be incorporated with such is Microsoft My SQL. It will execute only in platforms running Windows Operating System. The applications of the system will only cover the monitoring of books and tracking of the borrowers.Other unavoidable circumstances, such as power interruptions an d speed of recover, and other to a greater extent complicated areas of RFID Technology, such as securing the data, are no longer part of the study. Conceptual Framework For the researchers to be able to come up with a Radio Frequency Identification Reloading System, they will need very conciliative and versatile knowledge in using the VB. NET programming language and in using the MS Server 2008. They will also be needing materials such as ACS Readers, tags which should be compatible with the reader and a desktop running Windows operating system.The related foreign and local studies and literature would also be of jumbo aid to them because of the given information and problems with solutions of these materials. With all the knowledge, the materials to be used and the related resources, the researchers will need to cautiously plan the whole study which is going to be the foundation of their research as a whole, fall in and analyze data before they physical body and code the sys tem. After the coding form, the researchers need to test and evaluate their study. If incumbent, modifications should be done to perfect the system.

Library Management System is the system which will be an aid for monitoring the books and tracking and reminding the bor rowers in a certain library. Radio Frequency Identification is one of the newest identification technologies that use electromagnetic fields to transfer and read data that will be integrated by the researchers in this study. Chapter 2 Related literary achievements and Studies A. Related Literature Foreign LiteratureHolloway (June 2006), Microsoft EMEA Manufacturing Industry Solutions Architect, wrote a white idea which explained the components of a basic RFID system and how it works. According to him, an RFID system is composed of three fundamental pieces of equipment such as (1) a small radio device called a tag, or the transponder, which contains the data, (2) the reader, or the interrogator, that transmits and collects data to be downloaded from and uploaded to the tag, and (3) the host computer installed with an RFID software program to member the data into valuable information.Daniel (2004) summarizes the operation in a basic RFID system as discussed below First, the ta g will enter the RF field of the Reader then, the RF signal will power the pursue that will transmit the ID with other data which, on the other hand, will be sent to the computer by the Reader. Then, the computer will be the one sending data to the Reader which will be transmitted to the tag. In a paper published by Mitrokotsa and Douligeri (2009), Integrated RFID and Sensor Networks Architectures and Applications, they discussed and differentiate RFID and receiving set Sensor Network (WSN) Technologies.They also discussed why these technologies should be applyed to various fields of business and their requirements. Since the proponents will be using RFID, the tips, which are proven effective, given in this study on how to have interrupt RFID-based systems will be of big help in conducting their study. Soldatos (2010) formulated a study authorize generative Client Application for RFID EPCIS Repository wherein he make waterd software which intended to provide a UML-like graphi cal delegation of the business locations, and read points of an enterprise with a more user friendly RFID-based software system.Dhanalakshmi and Mamatha (n. d. ) wrote a paper wherein they discussed the project that they created empower RFID Based Library Management System which is very similar to the study being conducted by the proponents. In their studys conclusion, they have indicated and proven that RFID in the library speeds up its proceeding such as book borrowing, returning, searching thus enables staff to do more of its responsibilities. Mutigwe and Aghdasi (n. d. also conducted a study authorise Research Trends in RFID Technology wherein they have given attention at move research activities in the field of RFID and talked about the possible major burdens that RFID Technology is facing today such as privacy, high costs, and social and legal concerns. Local Literature Garcia (2009) made a study, Student course credit Using Radio Frequency Identification for Tarlac Stat e University, which was undertaken to develop a system that would support and correct the current way of identifying students at Tarlac State University.The system is capable of importing excel files to update student records. Through the images and the information displayed by the system, security officers find it easy to identify the students entering the school campus. Reports can be generated for administration and filing purposes. The concern of security was also addressed because the system can restrain users and produce integral records. Similar to the study of the proponents, the system that they will create can also generate reports for monitoring and farm animal purposes.Another study which also focused on the record keeping of students who enter and overhaul the school premises is the visualize of RFID Interface System A Prototype conducted by Engr. Dellosa (2007). He designed a circuitry capable of indicating the arrival and departure of the students in such a way t hat the students can also be notified. He also developed software capable of capturing and recording the students name calling in concert with their time of arrival and departure within the school premises. B. Related Studies Foreign StudiesA study of Botterman and Oranje (May 2009) entitled Study on The Requirements and Options For RFID Application in Healthcare proved that RFID Technology is versatile and can also bring improvements in the field of healthcare. It also proved that the speed of access and speed of processing of relationss, the inventory of equipment, and the monitoring of the patience and employees can be improved by RFID. Lastly, Zherdev (2011) performed a study, Storing and Reading Sensor Data from Battery Assisted Passive RFID, which dealt with tags of battery assisted passive-type and ISO 18000-6C standard.His study evaluated and improved a system designed to transmit information about the bearings status of railway wagons. It is related to this study being cond ucted by the proponents since they will also be using the passive type of RFID tags. Shariff of Longitude Consultancy Services made a proposal for schools to implement systems incorporated with RFID Technology for attendance monitoring, library management, and logging in school buses. He reasoned out the needs for such advancement which made the proponents more eager in pursuing this study.Local Studies Studies were not only done in other countries but also in the Philippines as well. Filipinos also hunger for knowledge and improvements in the field of Technology. One of the pioneers in using RFID Technology to make its transactions faster and more efficient is the Mapua Institute of Technology with its Cardinal Plus Model which made many transactions accessible ever since it was introduced to the Institute such as securing student identification upon entering the campus and on crinkle grade access of students.This study is in some manner related because both implementation target s are in universities. A study conducted by Balbacal (2005) entitled Automated Bus Fare System is related to the system that the researchers is planning to create. In Balbacals system, she used reloadable cards which used barcodes in riding a bus and paying for the fare. The amount to be reloaded on a card depends on the users capability to pay. However, Aquino et. als (October 2009) Automation of the picture show TheaterCharging Procedures Through the Use of RFID proved that RFID Technology can also improve the field of entertainment. Their system was able to eliminate queuing problems & improve charging operations of the system implied on improvement in the efficiency, reliability & accuracy of the operation. level off though the field of implementations of their study and the researchers are not the same, the purposes of both are identical. The researchers want to eliminate the circumlocution in recording the attendance of the students which the existing system is not capable of.In Villames (2010) research entitled Carrier Suppression Locked Loop Mechanism for UHF RFID Readers, he made an improvement on the front-end computer architecture of UHF RFID readers to address the problem of having the performance of the reader limited as the active components in the liquidator become saturated due to having the readers being exposed to strong carrier leakage signals because of the antenna reflections and limited isolation of circulators and directional couplers.This would be of great help but the researchers indicated that other complex aspects of RFID such as isolation of signals will not be covered by this study. Chapter 3 Methodology Research figure of speech In every study, the method of research to be used is very important. The whole study somehow depends on such method because it will determine how the data collected will be handled. The aspiration is of this method is to acquire accurate and systematic data which are based on facts that can be used i n averages, frequencies and similar statistical calculations.It often uses visual aids such as graphs and charts to aid the reader in understanding the data distribution. The researchers are also taking into consideration the use of developmental research. In a paper published by James D. Klein et. al, (n. d. ) they define it as studies that involve the production of information with the goal to improve the development of instructional design, development, and evaluation. Such research is based on all situation-speci? c problem solving or generalized inquiry actions. SamplingThe researching process will take broadcast at the Tanauan Institute, a institute located at J. V. Gonzales St. Pagaspas Tanauan City. The researchers have chosen this institution because it is where they are presently studying and it was the first time the school will use the RFID system. Instruments/Tools The primary tools that will be used in gathering the needed information for this study are researching and browsing from the net. The gameary tools will be the related foreign and local literature and studies that the researchers have gathered.Gathering Data The process of the data we gathered is shared into five phases namely Identify and Analyze the Requirements. In this phase, the proponents will gather all possible requirements that the end user expects from the system to be developed. These requirements will dictate the functions that will be integrated in the system. Design the System. Upon gathering and analyzing the requirements of the end user, the designing of the system will follow. This phase is important because the systems design will dictate the overall system architecture.If the proponents have inquiries about the system, they can gather and analyze the requirements again. order the System. After designing what the system will look like, the proponents will start the actual coding of the system. This design of the system will be the basis of how the system will loo k like. Test the System. To en original that the system is efficient and reliable, several tests will be conducted. If the system fails the testing phase, the proponents will go back to the second phase which is designing of the system. 5. Acceptance of the System.After having proven that the system is functioning well, it will be deployed to the end user and they will be trained on how to use it. They will evaluate if their requirements and expectations have been met. If not, the proponents have to go back to the first phase again and start all over.

Through our software user can add books, update books, search books, update information, edit information, record the attendance of the borrowers, borrow and return books in quick time. Our proposed system has the side by side(p) advantages. ? User friendly interface ? Fast access to database ? Less phantasm ? More Storage Capacity ? Search facility ? Look and Feel Environment ? Quick transaction All the manual difficulties in managing the Library have been rectified by implementing computerization.Analysis General Features of the System RFID technology has been applied in libraries just over a decade, though the technology is not yet get along with but its rapid development allows more and more functions to be achieved. RFID is still in its developing stage in libraries, the technology originally can only simply achieve the self-check-in and ch eck-out function, but till now, the effectively inventory, logistics and sorting the returned books are all able to be achieved. The library can adopt RFID technology aim of improving the self-service.Patrons can borrow and return the items using automatic lending machines, which require a library card and a PIN. Self-service becomes much easier with this new technology as it does not require line of sight and max. 3 items can be borrowed at a time. So far, the frequency of self-service is about 100%. Besides, sorting the returned books greatly reduces the library staffs manual work. As RFID label has anti-theft function, there is no need for an extra alarm strip to be attached to the item, which makes the borrowing and tagging trade union movements a lot easier accordingly. Chapter 5 ImplementationProgram exam We the researchers have come up to test the system with different specifications to know the compatibility of it to the system. The researcher make sure that they will not have any problem during implementation and also we asked the end user to perceive and to test the system, if they had any wanted to changed or add on the system. To ensured that the system is efficient. Documentation Plan The musical accompaniment has seven chapters. The first three chapters were made during the first part of the study, these three chapters guide the researcher to create a system what look alike.The last four chapters were made at the second part together with the system proposal. Data Management Plan We the researchers gathered data by acquiring information on some schools, browsing the net, getting some ideas with the old system, library research, asking personal questions and getting information through handouts.

Chapter 7 The Summary of Findings, Conclusions and RecommendationSummary Library Management, particularly Circulation and Collection, in Tanauan Institute uses a semi-automated system which has a number of limitations such as incapability of automatically generating reports and statistics, and loss, inconsistency, and in accuracy of data. Since this institution is already using RFID Technology in monitoring the attendance of its students, the researchers attempted to resolve such issues by creating an RFID-Based Library Management System using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 with the students and the librarians as the target beneficiaries in mind.Modified waterfall was the research model used by the researchers which helped them in the distribution of the tasks they need to accomplish. descriptive method of research was also utilized in order to gather data more accurately and systematically with the use of data gathering tools such as surveys with open and close ended questions, interviews, and time motion study represented by graphs and tables to test and evaluate the systems reliability and the users acceptance. ConclusionThrough months of conducting this study, starting from the data-gathering-phase up to the deployment-phase, with the aid of the surveys, interviews, and time motion study analyzed, the researchers concluded the following statements about their Tanauan Institute New Library RFID-Based Library Management System The system was able to generate statistics and reports by just a click of a button which can help them in forecasting and identifying the library users of the month.They can now finally be assured regarding the accuracy and reliability of the data ge nerated. The system can cater larger amount of data which is what the library practically needed at this time that they are upgrading the amount of their collection. Data loss will now be finally eliminated. The system was able to track whom librarian is accountable for the loss of a returned material. The system was able to help them in reminding the students regarding their unreturned materials. RecommendationsFor the future researchers to improve, the researchers put forward the following Module for printing of a receipt-like for library users as a confirmation of the material that they have returned or borrowed Module for printing of a book-card-like after adding or updating a particular library material so that librarians can now generate it with just a click of a button Module to Include visitors who dont have RFIDs LAGYAN PA NG RECOMMENDATION YUNG NDI NYO NAGAWA..
