摘要:In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, the people of Chewandswallow come together to create boats using the tools at hand (stale bread and pizza) to seek a better world when a catastrophic weather system destroys their hometown. Although librarians are not faced with pea soup fog or a limburger cheese hail, cloud-based collaboration services (cloud services) allow librarians to come together to create scholarship, work on projects in the office and across miles more efficiently, share ideas and interests, and inspire each other, ultimately benefiting the larger community. In this article, we examine the basics of cloud services, including security concerns; review some of the major services; and look at some ways fellow librarians are using these services to facilitate collaboration to get their projects off the ground and into the cloud.
