Abstract

Digital libraries are means of easily and rapidly accessing books, archives, and images of various types, they have the potential to store much more information, because digital libraries require very little physical space for storage. Many-a-times, researchers using digital libraries are faced with the problems of information retrieval from the databases of the digital libraries when some information are required or needed. The ability of the mobile agents to navigate several databases seamlessly and gather needed information with a higher throughput makes mobile agent the much-needed tool for easy information retrieval from the digital libraries. The architecture of Mobile agent for Digital library system has been presented in this work using C-sharp.
