INFLIBNET-(INFED)

The INDIAN Access Management Federation (INFED) provides remote access to scholarly e-resources to our college in India under the e-shodhsindhu. It has adopted Shibboleth, standard-based open source software, for authenticating authorized users from our institute. Shibboleth offers a mechanism for users to access multiple resources within a federated single sign-on framework from anywhere, anytime. The goal of the INFED is to allow users to access internal and external resources seamlessly using a single, institutionally controlled identity.

RFID

RFID based Library Management System is a unique system implemented in our college library to manage the books automatically and efficiently. It will use the RFID reader to identify and manage the books efficiently. The data can be managed using the interface created for the library staffs.

This technology helps librarians eliminate valuable staff time spent scanning barcodes while checking out and checking in borrowed items. For the students and staffs, RFID speeds up the borrowing and return procedures.
