The proposed RFID Assistance System uses existing technology and devices to enable faster book search, information overlay, and check out in a public library. The system uses an interactive graphic interface contrary to the conventional alpha numeric character systems used in the Dewey Decimal or the Library of Congress system currently used in public libraries.
For the user study, we set up an analog version of the proposed system to compute accessibility as well as response times. The survey also lists responses to the usability of such a system for library search and check out.

Figure : This figure shows a multi cyclic process from the
book search to the check out.

| Figure: This graph is a result of the user study with n=17. In this study the participants were asked to search for books in three different menthods. First the participant was asked to find a book using the conventional library congress system of book search. The diamond points show how much time each subject took to find a book using the first method. In the second method (square points) the subject was asked to find another book using a PDA and a graphical interface with color coding. In the third method (triangular points), the same graphical interface was used but instead of the PDA, a paper print out was used. In the 4th study (circular points) PDA was used once again to adjust for the learning curve of the subject. |
