Abstract: The paper deals with the application of wireless technologies in libraries, its benefits and issues to consider for installing such a network; wireless Internet access and Short Messaging Service in libraries. The paper describes various wireless technologies like Bluetooth, Infrared, HiPeRLAN and Wireless LAN. The benefits of Wireless LAN like mobility, simplicity, installation speed, flexibility, reduced cost and scalability have been explained and highlights the various Wireless LAN technologies like Narrowband Technology, Spread Spectrum Technology, Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Technology and Infrared Technology. The paper also discusses the working of a Wireless LAN, its range and coverage, compatibility with existing networks, security, safety and cost of Wireless LAN. It further highlights various mobile technologies like Wireless Application Protocol, General Packet Radio Service and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. The paper concludes with the hope that in the near future the wireless technologies will play an important role in the storage, retrieval and dissemination of information in libraries.

Abstract: We seem to recall a time when protocols and standards were two different things. In the past couple of years, the craze over new protocols has seemingly breathed new life into library information technology, replacing the doldrums of standards with the hope of new, universally accepted protocols. We must admit to being too young to have been there, but we wonder if things felt like this when MARC and Wireless LAN were poised to change the world of library automation as also in XML, OpenURL, and the Open Archives. An increased rate of mobility brought about by the Wireless LAN break through has given a new dimension to networking capabilities. The IEEE 802.11 defines standards for both 1-2 Mbps and higher speed wireless communication. The study of the PHY and the MAC layer as per the IEEE 802.11 protocols reveal that the issues like security and reliability of utmost importance in this type of networking. In short if higher speed networking of this kind can be created then there would be no need for the conventional physical medium communication. Globalization of this technology would indeed bring the world closer and bring about a new era of wireless technology in the Library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1429 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Wireless connectivity is the preferred connectivity in computer networks. It involves connecting laptops, mobile libraries and even bridges to computer networks, without physical wire connections. Wireless connectivity means that individuals can potentially access the Internet, CD-ROM networks and office networks from anywhere and at any time. The lack of a physical connection means that users are able to roam or work wherever they wish and still have access to the computer network. This paper highlights the key elements in wireless connectivity and its potential for deployment in network of libraries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/360 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Two technologies have changed people’s attitude to communication and information access in the last decade: the Internet and mobile communication. In one hand the classical internet architecture is visible. On the other hand organizations across the country are embracing wireless campus networks. The appeal is obvious- seamless, ubiquitous connectivity for users wherever they are locate. The emergence of 802.11 wireless standards have brought costs down and increased compatibility. Setting up a wireless network is trivial –most equipment works out of the box with little or no configuration. In this article the authors intend to describe a guide line of achieving an m-library with WML (Wireless Mark-up Language) in WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) in WLAN environment.
