Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems have been used in libraries for multiple purposes. Basically developed for military applications in the 1940s, it had found its application in many other areas including the libraries. This article briefly traces the origins of this technology and its applications in various sectors. The system components, standards and protocols for RFID based systems with special reference to library application are discussed in detail. Also discussed are the advantages and disadvantages of RFID application in libraries.
