This document summarizes a presentation about cloud computing for libraries. The presentation introduces cloud computing and discusses what it is, the different types of cloud services, and the advantages and issues of using cloud services. It also provides examples of how libraries currently use and could further use cloud computing, including for infrastructure, platforms, software, instruction, marketing, and productivity. The presentation addresses considerations for libraries in moving services and operations to the cloud.

for development
* Build, test, deploy web-
based apps

software
* Least expertise &
customization
* Most common

55. The “desktop” and current operating
systems will be quaint metaphors the
same way we look back at 8-track tapes,
phones with dials, typewriters, etc.
- Alan Levine

56. We’ll have a huge blow up with terrorism
in the cloud and the PC will regain its full
glory.
- R. Ray Wang

57. The correct answer is “both”. I do not
think by 2020 people will want to give up
the autonomy and control they get by
having software and data on their own
device, but many of the service that we
will expect...will require the power of a
cloud supercomputer.
- David D. Clark

58. The cloud will consist of a white part
(trusted and checked information), a grey
part (question mark) and a black part
(crap information: untrusted, unchecked,
violent, fraudulent).
- Marcel Bullinga
