Abstract:
This paper presents wireless networking scenario with standards & Applications for its
implementation. Wireless LAN is needed for the organizations & libraries for unlimited
access to their wired LAN. This WLAN set up provides various ways to setup network as the
need of libraries and without disturbing the existing network setup of wired network. This
paper discusses the wireless network with various standards which is developed by Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (IEEE). These standards explain the need and
use of wireless connectivity speed ranging from 11Mbps to 54 Mbps with security and
quality of service concept. The paper also discusses WLAN implementation with some
example to demonstrate the effective use for newer and current needs like mobility and
speed with cost consideration. The paper’s focus is WLAN & its Applications for various
implementations. The benefited group for this paper is network administrators &
management people of any organization and also the librarians.

Abstract:
The emergence of the World Wide Web (WWW) and Internet as a new media of information
storage and delivery provide an unparalleled media for delivery of information with greater
speed and economy. The web technology and Internet has changed the way of information
is stored, retrieved and communicated in the libraries. As more libraries move towards
providing their services in a digital environment, the improved access to remote library
collections is making the use of electronic information resources more realistic and more
attractive. The paper explores what are web based services, why it is necessary and why it
is so popular among users, with their advantages and disadvantages. Different web based
resources have been highlighted. Future and conclusion have also discussed in the last.

Abstract:
The rapid development of the Internet during the 1990s has opened up a new possibility
where traditional print journals are being replaced by, or at least supplemented by, the
electronic journals. Low library budget and increasing cost of subscription are some of the
important factors for shift from print media to electronic one This paper discusses the role of
UGC-Infonet in promotion of E-journals in the country through E-journal consortium.
Highlights that the usage of E-journals is much below the expected target by the Universities
of North East which have been given access to E-journals. This has been supported by
usage statistics by these five universities.

Abstract:
The great libraries of the future are not those with great collections but those with great staff,
knowledge must be rediscovered in the library before it is used (Lowry, 1991). The trained
and dedicated librarian would act as an intermediary in this rediscovery process. The paper
highlights the efforts made by CORD, NIRD to identify the information needs of the users,
barriers in accessing information, best practices for effective use of information etc were
discussed in an open form consisting of working librarians, faculty, experts, library staff etc.
to find solutions for the optimum use of Library Resources. Further emphasised the
importance of training for the staff/users to serve the user community by using latest
technologies, in the similar lines the users also get trained to tap the resources available
internally and Globally. For this purpose CORD is conducting three training programmes in
an year for the staff and three for the users in this direction.
