The Library at Zayed University, which comprises a total of 18,000 square meters, 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.
