Abstract

Finding a book or a thesis in a large library is never an easy job, even though librarians and researchers provides a call number system or an on-line webcat system. Since indoor positioning technologies are getting popular and cost-reasonable, it might be useful in the library to assist. In order to help readers finding books, this paper aims to design a book-finding application with iBeacon. Provide readers with more convenient and effective services to help them locate their books quickly in the library.
