Abstract	By applying Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and automating some of the cumbersome library transactions processes, the library staffs can be retrained to be more productive for the library cause by acting as an initial ‘search engine’. This will greatly help the users of any library, especially in the education sectors. This paper argues that RFID technology can be effectively used in the library system while making it obviously easier for both the users as well as the library staff to issue and receive library-materials by just tagging it. It also identifies important issues in the implementation of the RFID systems. Some of the issues that need to be addressed in the implementation stages of the RFID include: Health Issues concerning frequent exposures to radio frequencies.
