Looking for information on LANs

I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this question, but here it goes..

I am currently looking for some information on Local Area Networks. I have been trying to search for them on different search engines but have come up with just some technicle stuff and not any about or descriptions of LANs. What I need are about articles, technical articles...any documentation I can refer to for a research paper. You can either post links here or you can email me them at skoshitiger@deltaz.net

Thank you..

Neil
