What Are You Talking About?
• A cloud is a common metaphor for the Internet:
![Page 3: Moving Libraries to the Cloud](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081520/5681685a550346895dde906f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Cloud Computing
• “A style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet” - Wikipedia
• Incorporates the concepts of:– Infrastructure as a Service (hardware capacity)– Platform as a Service (OS, “solution stacks”)– Software as a Service (applications)

Moving to the Cloud
• Moving “to the cloud” means moving computing tasks from in-house hardware and software to resources on the net
• Therefore, “moving libraries to the cloud” means moving library data and applications to the network level

Potential Benefits
• Low barriers to entry• Pay as you go instead of capital investment• No need to have local server capacity• Software upgrades are automatic• Saves staff

Potential Drawbacks
• Lack of complete control• Reliance on network connectivity and speed

• Allowing “wiki-like” editing of WorldCat records• “I’m very excited about the experiment and have
already "updated" more records in the past month than I have in months previous to this” – Nathan Putnam
