Cloud computing is basically a new phenomenon for providing services over
the internet. The biggest plus point of cloud computing is that it uses third-party
hardware and software applications for providing services. It is very much costeffective and easy to maintain. This type of emerging technology is being adopted by
the 21st century libraries and information centres. Cloud computing can be used in
libraries to provide better services. Cloud computing allows users of the library to
access information from any geographic location. Cloud computing is helpful for
libraries and information centres in automating and managing their services.
