WLAN: Access to Digital Libraries without

Abstract

The development of electronic resources and “Virtual Libraries” offers many new opportunities for accessing voluminous information. Wireless data communication is revolutionizing many jobs and services, much as the introduction of desktop computers did ten years ago. This developing technology offers great potential for broadening access to library services in ways never before conceived. Wireless data communication may be the next logical step in the evolution of library information systems. There are three basic types of wireless technologies - Cellular, packet radio, and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). This paper discuss the various technology and considerations for WLAN.
