ST LogiTrack Pte Ltd was awarded a contract to design, supply, and install an Electronic Library Management System (ELiMS®) for SAFTI Military Institute Library (SAFTI Library), a defence and military studies resource centre.

The SAFTI Library has a collection of more than 75,000 books covering a variety of subjects such as military history, strategic and security studies, and defence relations. In particular, the focus of SAFTI Library's collection is on military history and security studies of the Asia-Pacific region.

The SAFTI Library recently extend its collection of books to members of the public for loan, as part of the ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Defence to promote and raise awareness of defence and security-related issues.With the ELiMS® in place which allow patron to 'drop-in' to return library materials, members of the public can borrow the books from the SAFTI Library and return them at either the SAFTI Library or any of the National Library Board's regional of community libraries.

With the whole process fully automated, librarians can now focus on providing value-added services such as membership, attending to enquiries and helping patron locate the library materials of their choice.

ELiMS® is a proven RFID-based system that has been deployed by National Library Board (NLB) of Singapore, ST College, Singapore Airline (SIA), Institute of Systems Science (ISS) and Singapore Management University (SMU) to automate and manage its libraries since 1997.
