Abstract

In the library, books are shelving by call number that based on classification standard. When books are returned from the patrons or when the books are taken from the shelf to read in the library, these books have to be put back on the shelf so other people who search for the books by using OPAC can find it as displayed in the system. Managing bookshelves in the library is quite a tedious job especially putting books into the right location on the shelves or checking the shelves for misplacing books. Usually these jobs are done by manual. In order to speed up the process, augmented reality is used as a helping tool. Augmented reality is the technique of applying virtual objects such as text, 2D or 3D objects on top of real image making it possible to display information of the books on top of the real books without touching the books. Better than that, it can display information on many books at the same time making it possible to track the misplaced books among the rest of the books on the shelves or telling which books have the same author. Using this technique need only tablet or smart phone, making it convenient not only for the librarian but also for user searching for the book as well. © 2014 AENSI Publisher All rights reserved.
