Abstract :
In the current study, we have addressed the feasibility of RFID in ALI, Iran on the basis of criteria associated with providing the loan desk services automatically, establishment of automatic security control for the members, inventory control and shelf reading, and applying the required regulations for automatic library management according to the viewpoints of the managers and librarians of ALI, Iran. The descriptive survey method is used in this study. The study population included all the librarians in UI, Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), and Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) (168 people). The data was gathered using a researcher´s made questionnaire and the samples size was determined to be 135 people according to randomized stratified sampling method. It is found that, the highest mean scores were related to “improvement of loan desk services”, “effectiveness in cataloguing and identification of extra materials”, “saving the time consumed by the users”, “helpful in shelf reading”, and “helpful in inventory control.” It is concluded that the feasibility score of establishment of RFID system in providing the loan desk services, security system, facilitation of shelf reading, and applying management measures is above the medium level.
