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.
