Desktop RFID readers and data records that can be suitable for solving the problem.
Equipment for the book collection and lending units

We would like to bring to your attention quite a wide range of Desktop RFID readers and data records dealing with RFID labels used for books and documents. You are suggested to go to RFID readers Product Catalog with already enabled filters: Performance - Desktop device, Area of application - Libraries and Archives. On this page we will consider one of the versions of a desktop reader selection.

One of the versions of the reader

RFID portal name	RFID reader Feig SPAD102 H
Item and RFID portal components name	Item 013-2670. RFID reader with an attractive design FEIG SPAD102-E HF, the reader is provided with a built-in antenna. PC communication interface – Ethernet. Item 013-3671. RFID reader with an attractive design FEIG SPAD102-USB HF, the reader is provided with a built-in antenna. PC communication interface - USB
Use description	Compact desktop reader is designed for cards/labels with an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz. The flat antenna and the reader allows to identify and read/write RFID labels at a distance of 30-40 cm. Implementation of anticollision allows to work with multiple labels simultaneously (up to 30 labels). The design of the device ensures reading labels directly on the surface of the antenna! In addition, installation on metallic and conductive surfaces does not affect operation of the antenna. For this reason, the reader can be used in the environments traditionally considered to be inconvenient.

Handheld reader for cataloguing and search

One of the versions of the reader

RFID portal name	RFID reader Feig Blade Reader ID ISC.PRH200 HF
Item and RFID portal components name	Item 013-6228
Use description	Compact, wireless handheld reader, designed for contactless labels corresponding to the ISO 15693 standard in libraries. Typical areas of applications: book cataloguing, search, AFI data auto check/update. 5 multi colored LED indicators and inbuilt buzzer act as the elements of visual and sound alarms. They are visible on both sides of the reader. PC connection is via WLAN interface that supports all common protocols of data encryption.

You can see other versions of handheld readers in the Product Catalog, section RFID readers with enabled filters: Area of application - Libraries and Archives, Performance - Handheld, Frequency range - HF.

Embedded RFID equipment for integration into terminals and complexes

Automated Library System Software

IRBIS Integrated Library and Information System

Key features of IRBIS64 Automated Library System

• Work in local and global networks, without limiting the number of users;
• Complete integrability in the corporate library systems and technologies based on Web technologies and Protocol Z39.50 support tools;
• Full compatibility with international formats UNIMARC, MARC21 and Russian communicative format RUSMARC;
• (Thanks to these features, users have the opportunity to present their resources to the Internet, integrate them into distributed corporate resources, perform direct on-line borrowing of ready bibliographic descriptions from electronic catalogues of other libraries and corporate systems.)
• Support for arbitrary number of databases, forming the Electronic catalogue or representing problem-oriented bibliographic databases;
• Automated technology of creating dictionaries being the basis of implementation of quick search by any description elements and their combinations;
• Tools for the maintenance and use of Authority Files, Universal Decimal Classification, Library-Bibliographical Classification, State Classifier of Scientific and Technical Information and Thesaurus databases;
• Support for traditional "paper" technology, from printing of order forms/subscription and total account worksheets to printing of all types of catalogue cards;
• Technologies focused on the use of barcodes and RFID labels on the copies of publications and readers' tickets;
• Multi-language support based on UNICODE, i.e. the ability to input in any language of the world;
• Support links from bibliographic references to full texts, graphic data and other external objects (including Internet resources);
• Tools for creating and maintaining full-text databases (electronic library);
• Special tools for creating image catalogues on library retro stock based on the graphical images of catalogue cards and automatic recognition of their texts;
• Tools for translating user interfaces into other languages;
• Wide range of service tools for convenience and clarity of user interfaces that simplify the entry process, eliminating errors and duplication of information;
• Wide opportunities for adaptation to the working conditions of a particular library, including tools for creation unique work profiles for all categories of users;
• Openness that allow users to make changes in wide limits: from changes of input and output forms to development of original applications.

• AWP " Acquisitions Librarian"
• AWP "Cataloguer"
• AWP "Reader"
• AWP "Book Lending"
• AWP "Administrator"
• AWP "Book Availability"

Automated Library and Information System “Ruslan”. About

“Ruslan” Automated Library and Information System (ALIS) provides automation of all key processes of book handling and readers' services in libraries of different types.
The functionality of “Ruslan” ALIS can grow gradually by adding new modules without modification or replacement of already purchased ones. That provides a possibility of the phased introduction of the system.
Transition from other ALIS to "Ruslan" ALIS is possible (DOS systems, file and server architectures).
The system can be used in libraries of any subordination – university, public, libraries for the blind, medical.
Ruslan ALIS makes it possible to create digital libraries of full-text resources as a natural part of scientific and educational space of the University library. It provides creation of the library consortia in the short term and involvement of individual libraries in their activities. When using Ruslan ALIS for library automation you can easily become a member of the consortium – You don't need any additional components to perform operations of maintaining a joint catalog and cataloguing by borrowing, perform search operations and order via the Web page of the consortium.

"Ruslan" ALIS supports the possibility of cooperation online with all of the libraries using this system and also with the members of the ARBIKON Partnership to perform operations of cataloguing by borrowing (when entering new additions and execution of retro-conversion), to search for and order documents.
