ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Cloud computing, a concept that has leapt onto the scene in the last few
years, is available to libraries in the form of hosted systems for an ILS or
for e-resource access. These systems take advantage of cheaper computing
power, increased availability of services such as Amazon Web Services, and
new development strategies from library vendors. What does moving library
information to a networked environment do to improve the overall management
of the system? How can libraries leverage cloud-hosted and managed
collections? Are there tradeoffs in terms of local control? Learn the
answers to these and related issues at this webinar where speakers will
discuss actual cloud implementations in library environments.
