Islamic Civilization Center deploys 200,000 RFID tags with bibliotheca

The Islamic Civilization Center in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, faced the challenge of building a modern library infrastructure for its new landmark institution. The center needed a system that was secure, efficient, and built to international standards to preserve Islamic heritage while serving a diverse international audience. To meet this ambitious goal, they partnered with vendor bibliotheca to implement an RFID-based library automation solution.

Bibliotheca, with its partner SmartLibrary, provided a comprehensive suite of technologies including selfCheck kiosks, RFID security gates, inventory management tools, and digital tablet lending units. This solution enabled seamless self-service, robust collection security, and efficient management of the library's 200,000 items. As a result, the Islamic Civilization Center opened with a foundation for a modern, user-friendly research experience, allowing it to welcome scholars and visitors from around the world.
