With modern technology it should be possible to have software (and hardware) where you just walk past the shelves with a smartphone camera pointed at the books, and the software would automatically recognise the books and alert for anomalies, like a book that, according to the database, should be there but isn't, or books in the wrong order, or naturally if the OCR can't successfully read some faded/fancy text. However, libraries are typically on a pretty tight budget in every country, so I wouldn't expect such software any time soon.

It's not that easy. Modern tech AI isn't actually perfect. And while it's good enough for average person use, for a giant library, it's actually not good. Like, we are improving... but we aren't there yet...

It doesn't need to be perfect. If it worked most of the time, it would already be very helpful, plus if individual books aren't recognised, you can just read the barcode. But who's gonna pay for the development of such software, and also the extra hardware needed? And no, I never said it would be easy, which is why it would also cost money.

That being said, libraries already use RFID. Maybe it's impossible to check the order of books with it, but shouldn't it be enough to notice books missing from a particular shelf or extra books there? I'm no radio tech engineer, so I don't know it's any good for such accurate work or if too many books in too close proximinity overloads the system. But if the radio device is on purpose made very weak, so that you'd more or less touch the individual books with it, maybe it would work? Like you just walk next to the shelf, rattling the radio device against the book spines, and if something is amiss, compared to the database, you would get an alert. Such a radio device could be conneted to a smartphone, so you'd have all the info on screen.

I relate to Ishidaira. I used to skip school too just to mess around. This new character will be interesting!

Yup, my local library has some type of tag in all of their books, so there is no need for manually scanning!!

There might be some unruly patrons who might take it out out of curiosity, tho I doubt this is a normal occurrence.

I'd imagine it makes it much more faster process, it's like if every employee was as fast (or even faster) as that part-time!

[Totally unrelated. self-checkout with these tags is LIGHTNING FAST! Just put the books on the counter, scan your library card, and presto!! Scanned all your check outs in less than 10 seconds!!]

Iibraries are cool 😎
