Zayed University Chooses Nedap's Librix Portfolio For State-of-the-art Library
The prestigious library of the Zayed University will be implemented with RFID equipment before the end of the year. This way the expected 6,000 member students will have the chance to lend and return the library items easier than ever before.
- (1888PressRelease) October 19, 2011 - At the end of this year, the highly anticipated new campus of Zayed University is expected to open in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi. Covering an area of 213,000 square meters, the campus will offer it's expected 6,000-member student body a wide assortment of state-of-the-art learning opportunities. And while laboratories, classrooms and computer labs will certainly showcase the latest high-tech innovations, it is the RFID-equipped library that will set a new standard for education in the region and beyond.
As a part of the complex, which comprises a total of 18,000 square meters, the library at Zayed University has been equipped with the latest version of Librix, an innovative RFID solution that makes the lending and returning process easier than ever before. Books are equipped with RFID tags, and after scanning his library card, a student simply needs to place the desired books on a special check-out station before leaving the library; an easy-to-use bilingual touch screen guides both English- and Arabic-speaking students through the process. Returning borrowed books follows a similarly streamlined procedure. In terms of staff benefits, all stations are connected to Librix Online, which enables direct hardware performance monitoring and statistics output.
This is the latest installation of Nedap's innovative library solution. More than 650 libraries around the world are already harnessing the power of this fully-integrated hardware and software system.
