Using cloud computing in the field of libraries

Now a day’s Technology is growing fast, Cloud computing is a new technology model for IT services; which many businesses and institutes are adopting. The main goal of cloud computing serves is to bring system scalability. It is as a way of changing the current processes; therefor a step towards cloud technology for library would enable finding what users want without going to the library. Libraries could increase or decrease the resources in the cloud according to their users’ needs at a lower cost; and the libraries should use cloud-computing technologies to quickly respond to the diverse needs of all users. So the study attempts to answer several questions such as: What is cloud computing and what are its types? How can cloud computing help libraries? How can we benefit from cloud computing technology in the field of libraries? Then to achieve the objectives of the study and answer the questions raised; the study used the descriptive and analytical approach, addressing the concept of the cloud computing and its forms and types; and how it will be advantageous in the field of libraries, based on the existing intellectual production, despite its scarcity. Keywords: Cloud Computing, Libraries, Information Technology, Cloud Computing Models.
