A Library Management System (LMS) is an enterprise resource planning system for a library, used to track items owned, orders made, bills paid, and patrons who have borrowed. These usually comprises a relational database, software to interact with that database, and two graphical user interfaces (one for library users, one for staff). The Library Management System includes the following functionalities :

• -Acquisitions (ordering, receiving, and invoicing materials)
• -Cataloging (classifying and indexing materials)
• -Circulation (lending materials to patrons and receiving them back)
• -serials (tracking magazine, journals, and newspaper holdings)
• -The OPAC (public interface for users)

Each Library User and item has a unique ID in the database that allows the LMS to track its activity. The LMS is used to order and acquire, receive and invoice, catalog, circulate, track and shelve materials. In RFID Technology, Tags consists of a microchip attached to an antenna and is placed in the object to be located. These RFID tags are pasted on the books of the Library, and they communicate with the Staff work stations, handheld readers, self-charging stations, long range exit reader systems through radio waves. Benefits of using RFID Technology include :

• Fastest, easiest, most efficient way to track, locate & manage library materials
• -Efficient Book circulation management.
• -Automatic Check-in and Check-out.
• -Library inventory tracking in minutes instead of hours.
• -Multiple books can be read simultaneously.
• -Unique ID of the RFID tag prevents counterfeiting.
• -Automated material handling using conveyor & sorting systems.
