Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V.Y. Kikot (hereinafter referred to as the University) is the largest federal state-owned educational institution of higher education of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which implements fundamental academic practice-oriented training of personnel for internal affairs bodies. Combining prominent scientists, teachers and practitioners within its walls, the University prepares specialists for various departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia at a qualitatively new level, including in the formats of initial training, retraining and advanced training of police officers.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2015, during the implementation of the concept of developing the University\u2019s information and library environment, an integration of a multi-aspect array of documents and library and bibliographic services took place. The transformation of the resources of the traditional library into a flexible toolkit of the University\u2019s information cloud was implemented, including the use of RFID technologies. The result of the ongoing innovations was the transformation of the library into a multifunctional information and library center, which retained in its potential the traditions of classical library, but functioning on the basis of the technological capabilities of the modern information society.<\/p>\n Very tight deadlines made the task of implementing the RFID system in the library even more difficult. The call was accepted by the RST-Invent company, which, in accordance with all requirements and in a strictly regulated timeframe, carried out a full range of works on the production, supply and installation of RFID equipment, as well as trained the library staff to work with new technology.<\/p>\n As part of the project, automated workstations for system administrators and librarians were equipped, and an automatic book distribution station operating under the SIP2 protocol was installed. To conduct an inventory and search for books in the library, mobile readers are now also used. It should be noted that all equipment and software are integrated into the existing MARK-SQL automated library information system in the University\u2019s library.<\/p>\n The organizational and resource innovations made it possible to organize an area of \u200b\u200bthe open access periodicals fund in the library’s intellectual communications hall. Automatic identification of objects in this segment of the library stock is implemented by radio frequency accounting technology. All printed magazines are equipped with RFID tags, which allows to optimize the process of issuing publications, while the anti-theft functions of the installed RFID system – portal readers manufactured by RST-Invent – ensure the safety of stock materials.<\/p>\n
