The Intelligent Library System Open Plus 3.0 (ILS) is an integrated security tracking and
database system that maintains a library’s collection using Radio Frequency Identification

collections, streamlines operations, and improves patron service. When using ILS,
libraries reduce losses, enhance staff productivity, increase circulation flow, and improve
patron satisfaction. ILS operates in conjunction with the library’s Library Management
System (LMS) or Automated Circulation System (ACS).

•RFID tag
