Abstract: Information Technology has made significant stride in the way of acquiring, storing, retrieving, accessing and disseminating information. The advent of computer net works ushers a new path to the Library and gives a new dimension to the traditional job of library such as information retrieval and dissemination. The present paper is describes the over all access of information on computer network using wireless communication called Wi- Max technology. With Wi-Max any body can access internet connectivity any where without physical connection. This article highlights the salient features of Wi-Max technology. Bangalore is the fully wire less city within this year. Only the second city in the world to be fully Wi-Max enabled, after Taipei and compare to other technologies available such as OFC, Broadband, Wi-Fi etc. and also highlights common problems of adoption and absorption of such network technology in India.

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
