Abstract


In many organizations, the Library is having multiple local servers, each of which supports different applications for the users. Implementing a new application meant finding available resources which will arise a lot of technical issues that added a level of complexity to provide user services. By implementing cloud computing platform that gives the Library users in terms of easy scalability along with redundancy and security, but the traditional in-house servers was cost prohibitive. It creates toughness between, how the Librarian has to manage the information&library database and its availability in everyday life. To solve this technical issue, cloud computing refers to a wide field which includes hosted applications, distributed and platform independent server. The Cloud computing challenge will be less about technical hurdles and more about figuring out how to re-shape the Library and provide services to the users. This Article explores the cloud-computing initiatives in the Library to think about how to handle computing resources to save time, resources to improve library services.
