摘要：Cloud computing is a new breed of service offered over the internet, which has completely changed the way one can use the power of computers irrespective of geographic location. It has brought in new avenues for organisations and businesses to offer services using hardware or software or platform of third party sources, thus saving on cost and maintenance. In this paper, an attempt has been made to give an overview of this technology, initiatives, advantages and disadvantages and the areas in which libraries can deploy this technology for providing services and augment the productivity of library staff. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/djlit.32.6.2848
