Abstract
Traditional University libraries are facing growing pressure to adapt to the evolving needs of students and researchers. These library systems have limitations in book borrowing, return efficiency, book tracking accuracy, inventory management and user experience. This paper implemented an internet of Things (IoT) library system by integrating RFID technology into the university library system, enabling automated book borrowing and return processes, book tracking and book inventory management. Reviews were gathered from students and staff to determine the system's ease of use, efficiency, impact, and convenience. 92% of respondents reported reduced borrowing times and found the process quicker and more convenient than the traditional system. Additionally, 88% acknowledged self-service user interface functionality and ease of use. Some selected library staff indicated improved book inventory accuracy and operational efficiency.
