Proposed Solutions
HCL is proposing two proposals for Client Name, Location. One is based on RFID
based circulation solution and second is based on Barcode based circulation solution.
We propose Barcode based library management solution for our Client Name,
Location. The manual circulation of resources at the circulation counter can be
completely eliminated, members can be issued barcode enabled membership cards and
each and every book, charts and pasted with barcode labels.
In the circulation counter along with the library management software and handheld
barcode reader, staff at the circulation counter can issue and return the books with
minimum time wasting.
As the library currently have a collection of __________ books, charts, etc. stocking
taking will be easier with barcode based solution. With barcode printer, library can take
print out of cards, labels for books anytime of the year, without much expense.
Library will be required to take print of the barcode for the books, etc i.e. __________
collections and a predefined format of the member card. These member cards can have
logo of the institute, photo of the user, institute address and name and contact details of
the user on the member library card. Library has to take the print out of any of the
above any time during the session and any number of times.

1. Label (Polyester) these label will are special in nature. They are laminated and
will stand much longer to the second proposed label. Polyester label are
waterproof and can be used for a long time.
2. Label (Paper) these label are made of simple paper. Here libraries have to
laminate the label so that it can stand the natural calamities or human interface.
These will be cheaper but will require periodic changes.
3. Barcode Printer: The special printer is used to print the barcode label and
member ID’s for the library.
4. Barcode Software: barcode software is used to generate the barcode label. The
software which HCL is proposing can be used to modify the layout of the library
card i.e. logo of the organisation, image of the user and information like institute
name and address, etc and user name, id, address can be included in the label
format.
5. Fixed Barcode Scanner, for the circulation of books, etc from the circulation
counter. Barcode scanner will scan the barcode details of the member, once the
account become active, the staff can scan the barcode label of the book
6. Wireless Barcode Scanner, is used for the stock taking of the collection. The
wireless can be taken anywhere within the shelves, labels can be scanned and the
information will be collected on the PC in the library anywhere.
Future Up gradation
Library can opt for any one of the solution for current use like for Barcode Solution,
which is cheaper compare to RFID solution. But buying a cheaper barcode solution will
not stop library to upgrade to RFID based security and circulation solution in future.
LMS completely support the integration of both RFID solution and Barcode solution
one after the other or together simultaneously.

In our view library with limited collection and users should go for barcode based
circulation system, which not only meet the their current requirement of speedy
circulation and quick stock taking but also help them to upgrade to new technologies in
coming future. And if library is opting for RFID based security in future plan but
currently cannot allocate the budget, they should always go for library management
solution, which can easily support any RFID security solution; which meet all
international standards; without depending on the library management solution
provider/vendor.
