INTRODUCTION: Libraries and Information centers have to evolve measures continuously to keep up with the changing requirements of their patrons. The father of library science in India, Dr. S. R. Ranganathan’ s philosophy reflects “Right information” to the “Right user” in a “Right Personal way” at a “Right time” in his pioneer work “Five Laws of Library Science.” Due to information explosion and information pollution knowledge professionals and librarians are facing many challenges. ICT, Internet and library automation softwares made it possible for users to locate what they want without going to library and fulfill their needs.

CLOUD COMPUTING AND LIBRARY:
• Definition of Cloud Computing:
Cloud is a virtualization of resources and services that maintains itself and in cloud computing, distributed, grid and utility computing combined to perform functions with dynamically changing requirements. Resources like software, hardware and platform are provided on demand as well as it is a secure, reliable data storage center.

CLOUD SERVICE MODEL :
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Software as a Service (SaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PAAS)
• Build web-applications and deploy application without installing any tool or their system
advantage: Simplified deployment, lower risk, pay-per-use model and scalability
Disadvantage: some applications are local and some are in cloud so increased complexity

SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SAAS)
Benefits:
Install, run and maintain software
Service delivered through the browser and no expert team is required
Provide this service by downloading the application for customers
Host the application on the web server either on contract basis or on the basis of license agreements.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
Tomlinson (1998), the leader of Canadian Geographic Information System, coined the term ‘Geographic Information System’ in the early 1960s to refer to any computer application that perform functions with geospatial data (data related to space).
• 1960 – 70s Innovation First GIS – Canada Land Inventory DIME US Bureau of Census Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics Major vendors started (e.g. ESRI, Intergraph) Landsat satellite launched Key academic conferences (e.g. AutoCarto)

DEFINITION OF GIS:
A Geographical Information System is a tool, which can accept large volumes of spatial data derived from a variety of sources, retrieve, manipulate, analyze and display them according to user-defined specifications.
It brings together the ideas developed in various fields such as Computer Science, Civil Engineering, Mathematics, Surveying, Economics, Agriculture and Geography to name a few.

SELECTED DEFINITIONS OF GIS:Aronoff (1989) - Any manual or computer based set of procedures used to store and manipulate geographically referenced data
Dueker (1979) - A special case of information systems where the database consists of observations on spatially distributed features, activities, or events, which are definable in space as points, lines, or areas. A GIS manipulates data about these points, lines and areas to retrieve data for adhoc queries and analyses.
DoE (1987) - A system for capturing, storing, checking, manipulating, analyzing and displaying data which are spatially referenced to the Earth.
Carter (1989) - An institutional entity, reflecting an organizational structure that integrates technology with a database, expertise and continuing financial support over time.
Parker (1988) - An information technology which stores, analyses, and displays both spatial and non-spatial data.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF GIS:
• GIS basically handles two kinds of data: Spatial data also referred as geographic co-ordinate data (records point, line, area) and another is, Attribute data, information related with particular geographical feature.
• It is Multidimensional and Voluminous.
• Requires projection to flat surface and use unique analysis methods.

• Analyses require data integration and data updates are expensive and time consuming, GIS can solve this problem.
• Map displays require fast data retrieval.

Global Positioning System (GPS) and GIS: • Contribution of GPS to the development of GIS data
bases is very significant.
• Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation and surveying system for determining precise position and time using radio signals from satellites in real time or in post processing mode. Mainly GPS is used for determining the coordinates of important geographical features, precise cadastral surveys, vehicle navigation and on highways using GPS-GIS integrated systems.

GIS TECHNOLOGY AND LIBRARY:
The significant steps involved in application of GIS in libraries are drawing library building map, floor maps and designing the database, developers can take help of AutoCAD for preparing accurate architectural layout of library building.
For a multi-storied library building GIS technology can be applied. Nowadays Global Position Systems (GPS) and web-based mapping applications like Google Maps are also play active role, LIS research will also continue to organize and disseminate geospatial data.

FOSS GIS Disadvantages:
• Know-how on installing the software may be needed, but with some time spend on the net plenty of advice will be available.
• FOSS GIS have some limitations while compared with powerful proprietary GIS softwares (proprietary GIS softwares are coastly)
such as ArcView or ArcGIS especially FOSS GIS are unable to create automating labeling and usually proprietary softwares are better in terms of support for various projection, navigation and coordinating systems.
• Training costs may be high
• New projects may have initial starting troubles
• Application of GIS in library is resource intensive as well as too much amount of data needed to enter in the beginning.

Role of Consortia:
Some significant consortia in India are:
Government funded consortium (National Knowledge Resource Consortium), INDEST-AICTE consortium (open consortia, funded by MHRD), UGC-INFONET (funded by UGC), CeRA, HELINET, ERMED consortium and many voluntary consortia like FORSA. IIM Libraries…
There is need to emphasis conference papers, research articles etc. along with other e-journals and e-books.

Conclusion:
With the help of technological advances, library and knowledge professionals need to redesign library services to support learning, teaching, research, and other developmental activities.
To provide virtual and digital library services via technologies such as Cloud computing and GIS, high bandwidth is required so country wide strong I. T. infrastructure is pre-requisite.
