It is also designed to explain cloud computing as it pertains to library community. Cloud computing can be defined in a number of ways, but this book takes the broadest possible approach, considering any use of remote computing power accessed though the internet as a kind of cloud computing that will be of interest to librarians. After learning more about cloud computing and seeing how it pertains to libraries, readers will understand the requirements for trying various cloud computing projects at their own institutions.
