Libraries engage with time-consuming paper attendance sheets that

hinder both student experience and librarian efficiency. This study proposes an
Electronic Logbook Management System (ELMS) leveraging Radio-Frequency
Identification (RFID) technology to revolutionize library attendance tracking.
The paper-based system frustrates students with tedious sign-ins and offers
librarians limited data for informed decision-making. QR codes offer a partial
solution but lack the speed, security, and rich data capture, this research aims
to design and develop a web-based ELMS using PHP and MySQL. Students
will tap RFID tags for effortless attendance registration, eliminating queues and
human error. Real-time data capture empowers librarians with insights into
student library usage patterns, peak hours, and resource utilization.
Attendance data can be used to optimize library hours, staffing levels, and
program planning, ensuring student needs are met. The system prioritizes
user-friendliness and security, employing secure authentication and data
encryption protocols. To evaluate usability, the Post-Study System Usability
Questionnaire (PSSUQ) will be used with librarians and library assistants.
