Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a valuable tool for enhancing library operations and services. This thesis presents a comprehensive case study on the implementation of RFID technology in libraries, focusing on its impact on efficiency, security, and user experience. The study investigates the background of RFID technology in libraries, the problem statement surrounding its adoption, the objectives of the study, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. Chapter Two provides a detailed literature review covering ten key aspects of RFID technology in libraries, including its historical context, benefits, challenges, best practices, and case studies from similar implementations worldwide. The review aims to provide a solid theoretical foundation and practical insights for the study. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, tools used for data analysis, and ethical considerations. The chapter details the steps taken to gather and analyze data related to the implementation of RFID technology in the selected library setting. Chapter Four presents a thorough discussion of the findings derived from the case study, highlighting the impact of RFID technology on library operations, user satisfaction, staff efficiency, and security measures. The chapter explores the challenges encountered during the implementation process and identifies strategies for overcoming them. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing their implications for libraries considering RFID technology adoption, and offering recommendations for future research and practice. The study underscores the importance of RFID technology in modernizing library services and improving overall user experience. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the existing body of knowledge on RFID technology in libraries by offering empirical insights from a real-world case study. The findings provide practical guidance for libraries looking to implement RFID technology and highlight the potential benefits it can bring to library operations and services.
