Application of NFC in Library Management System in Indonesia
Near Field Communication (NFC) technology is growing rapidly in all sectors, not left behind in the library world, this wireless technology allows data transfer from two devices in a short distance with a short time, the application of this library system provides efficient convenience for library managers or users
this technology is used to facilitate efficiency in lending and returning books this technology utilizes a scanner and a card chip attached to the book, when both are close to each other automatically the data will be transferred and then automatically scanned which allows tracking transactions in real time reducing manual data processing that takes quite a long time
The application of NFC in library buying has various significant benefits one example is the automation of the process of borrowing and returning books so that it is faster and more appropriate, with this technology also reducing the number of human errors, making it easier for visitors to check availability in realtime providing a lot of convenience for libraries
some Indonesian libraries that use this system include the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia and the University of Indonesia use NFC to facilitate book management, although it offers various benefits the application of this technology faces several challenges the limited cost of application, the limited budget also makes the development of this technology does not develop optimally behavioral changes need to
to assess the success of NFC technology several dpaa frameworks are used such as operational efficiency, reduction of errors in transactions, and user satisfaction, one convenience of NFC technology is in its usefulness NFC can run when the device is so close that it is difficult to block the information sent, this makes NFC a safe option for libraries
the use of NFC is given ease in the process of borrowing and returning books simply by bringing the RFID card closer to the NFC reader device for transactions on the one hand NFC also allows access to online resources pemeberitahauna availability of books and when the book will be returned
The existence of NFC technology is not to replace existing technology such as barcodes with the existence of this technology can complement existing programs and improve ease of use, in the application of this system depends on the availability of infrastructure and the size of the existing library, although the initial investment may be expensive but with the benefits that can be, we will
NFC has good potential for improvement and modernization of library management systems in indonesia with the rapid development of technology is expected to facilitate many libraries to adopt NFC to facilitate, provide a memorable experience for NFC users also provide other innovative services such as payment, access to digital books and notifications automatically to the user’s phone
