2Very Slow Processes & Operations: Issuing and returning books with physical cards is a highly time-consuming process, leading to long queues. It is also prone to errors.
3Highly Manpower Dependent: Keeping manual records of the books that are issued and received, can gives rise to unforeseen errors. There may be many instances where the book is available as per issue card, but physically it is not available and vice versa.
4Book Stock Keeping – A Nightmare: Keeping track of physical stock with paper records is highly unreliable. Actual number of available books may vary substantially when compared to physical records.
5Data Duplication: Duplication and errors are very common when you enter information by manually. The same book can be listed twice or more in manual records.
6Librarians – stuck with paperwork – leads to poor liaison: Valuable time is wasted on tedious manual tasks instead of helping or engaging with library visitors / users.
7Delayed Communication of New Information: Librarians with manual systems find it very difficult in promptly communicating updates about new books and services that are added to the library. Normally, in manual systems, members are required to visit the library in person or make phone inquiries to obtain such details, that leads to delays in information circulation.
1Quick traceability of the book: Whereas, the same book can be easily & quickly found with just few clicks when the book title, its author’s name & its bookshelf is properly documented in the software.
2Saves Time: Imagine a system where everything is automated, saving valuable time of the library staff & the students or the library user.
3Minimum Manpower Required with Accurate Information: Imagine a system that automatically updates itself, ensuring complete accuracy & less manpower dependent.
5Zero Possibility of Data Duplication: Digital record keeping makes the process of book entries error free & there is no possibility of data duplication.
6Better Communication and Liaison: Librarians can spend more time interacting with people that helps in personal help with users and their interests.
7Quick Information Broadcast: In contrast, implementing a digital catalog accessible online enables readers to access information about new books or books available in library from their mobile phones, computers, or palm tops quickly. Real time notifications can also be implemented with the advanced digital library management system.
By replacing the outdated manual systems with innovative library management solutions, libraries can transform the experience for all stakeholders and users. Imagine a library where finding the desired book is effortless, borrowing is seamless, and information is readily available.

The “Assistance Control” project was inspired by the basic idea of the “Bologna Process”, a Pan-European collaboration which started in 1999, to adapt technology to provide a better quality of education that would allow improvement of the next generation of classroom teaching.
The best project finally chosen and tested involved students registered for classes with NFC phones, during the academic year 2011–2012 at “Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, Campus Madrid” (UPSAM).
This resulted in the senior students at the School of Computer Engineering to certify 99.5% accuracy and ease of attendance that ensured continuous assessment without loss of instructional time allocated to this activity.
