First of all i do not understand the Q. properly.
RFID is a costly affair. Further it will be good for large library.
But one can go for barcode. It is affordable, managable and saves time of the reader as well as of the staff.....Zabeen
I think your question is.
For todays automation of library activities which technology will be the best from RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), EM (Electromagnetic) and Barcode. Isn't it?
if it is a smaal library Barcode is suitable and affordable....if there is enough fund ..You can go for RFID
I have same views with Mr. Limu. i.e.if you have a small library, Barcode is suitable and affordable. But if you have enough fund. You can go for RFID inspite of EM.

Dear Sunil

Before giving you an answer, Let me know what kind of library it is and the collection of your library , based on that we estimate budget of your library offerdable. As Zabeen Ahmed said RFID is costly affair. When I was in NIFT (National Institute of Fashion Technology) implemented barcode technology by Zebra barcode system, Total collection about to 10,000 books. So try to discuss more on it.

Thank you

RFID helps in automation of person less circulation and also work as theft alarm, however it can be misused by keeping silverfoils over RF tags and the book can be stolen. EM is not for person less circulation it requires person at circulation to demagnetize and magenetize the EM. a combination of RF and EM can be a best anti theft and automation and inventory control solution (A costly affair). Bar code also requires personnel on circulation desk and can not be used as anti theft device ( a cheaper solution)
RFID gate is two type electronic and magnetic , Electronic gate is too much costly, magnetic field gate is less in comparision of Electronic gate. You can use RFID tag on your library books and use the magnetic field gate this is low badget.
Ours is small library collection is 10000 books which will affortable barcode what are the facilities we can affort from bar codeing technology
yes u have to spend 25000/
If Budget permits, than it is better to go for RFID application
