RFID Library Platform

Smart library and museum management.

Identify Track Protect

LIBREF is an RFID-driven platform that combines library information systems, collection management, and security hardware — built for modern libraries, museums and archives.

LIBREF
What is LIBREF

The world's first RFID-integrated library information system.

LIBREF brings together software and hardware into one ecosystem — from cataloging and circulation to security gates and self-service kiosks. Built with flexible architecture that adapts to libraries of any size.

OS independent

Runs on Windows, Linux and Unix — no vendor lock-in.

Database independent

Works with MSSQL, MySQL or Oracle — your DBA's choice.

Standards-compliant

MARC21, Z39.50, SIP, Unicode/UTF-8 — interoperable by design.

MVC architecture

Clean, scalable, maintainable — built for long product lifetimes.

Multilingual UI

Designed for diverse user communities — staff and patrons alike.

Library Information System

Complete library operations, in one platform.

Seven software modules that cover every workflow — from acquisition to circulation, periodicals to reporting.

01 — OPAC

Public catalog & search

Advanced search, filtering and material request features. Users build personal search archives for research.

02 — Cataloging

MARC records & authority control

Download and edit MARC via Z39.50. ISBN/ISSN validation, authority control, branch-level fixed asset management.

03 — Management

Users, roles & rules

Define user types, branches, roles and permissions. Lending rules, penalties, renewal limits, reservation policies.

04 — Acquisition

Requests & orders

Receive user requests, create order lists, manage bibliographic records, convert new materials into the catalog.

05 — Circulation

Lending, returns & reservations

Rules by collection, material type and user type. Lending, returns, penalties, renewals, reservations.

06 — Periodicals

Journals & serials

Bibliographic recording for serials. Drag-and-drop binding workflow. Issue filtering and bound periodical tracking.

07 — Reporting

Inventory & analytics

Branch-level reports, material status, asset location. Export to PDF or Excel for stakeholders.

Collection Management

RFID-powered collection and security management.

Beyond software — a complete RFID-based infrastructure that accelerates library workflows and protects every item on every shelf.

Key capabilities.

Built to scale across branches without rewiring the way your library works.

  • Easily expandable — start small, scale across branches.
  • Fast installation — minimal disruption to daily operations.
  • Easy integration — connects to existing library management systems.
  • Standards compliance — ISO 18000-6C, EPC Class 1 Gen 2.
  • Remote management — technical support without site visits.
  • Flexible licensing — payment based on number of materials.
01 — Inventory

Count entire shelves in minutes.

Handheld RFID terminals replace the all-staff weekend inventory marathon.

02 — Material Finding

Locate misplaced items instantly.

Handheld devices guide staff straight to misshelved materials.

03 — Circulation

Multi-item lending & returns.

Process up to 10 items at once — borrower throughput jumps overnight.

04 — Security

Real-time exit control.

Automatic reporting of unauthorized movements, item-level not just door-level.

05 — User Statistics

Usage by date & time.

Reports for staffing, opening hours and collection planning.

06 — Shelf Management

Right item, right shelf.

Tells staff in front of the shelf whether items are in their correct location.

07 — Manuscripts

Protection for rare works.

Special RFID tags via Japanese paper strips — no direct contact, no damage.

Hardware family

Five hardware products that work together as one library system — from the front desk to the security gate.

Self-Check Kiosk

Self-service borrowing and returns, designed for accessibility.

Security Gate

Item-level anti-theft with people-counting and offline mode.
