Which is best used to replace bar codes used in libraries?
A
Magnetic Stripe Reader
B
Chip Reader and PIN Pad
C
RFID Reader
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -RFID tags replace both the EM security strips and Barcode.

Detailed explanation-2: -What’s the Difference Between RFID and Barcode? While barcode scanners require a line of sight to scan each code individually, RFID scanners can read multiple codes at once. RFID systems are much more efficient for scanning a large number of items but can be more expensive and require more setup than barcodes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Radio frequency identification, or RFID, is a fully automated alternative to barcode scanning that has seen large scale growth in adoption rates across many industries.

Detailed explanation-4: -RFID avoids the limitations of barcode scanning, which requires line-of-sight access to each barcode and can only be used to scan one item at a time. Instead, RFID tags do not require line-of-site, and multiple RFID tags can be detected and read remotely and simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-5: -Many libraries also use RFID technology in an automated returns and materials handling system. Productivity can be further enhanced with a hand-held reader, which is used to pull holds and transit materials after check-in, scan shelves for misplaced books or take a full inventory of the collection.
