Solicitations of Cloud Computing in Academic Library

Abstract

Cloud computing is a new IT resources model with the distributed computing, grid computing, parallel computing and the Internet, which can provide the users with dynamic, scalable IT computing resources services. Cloud computing would be a developing tendency for computing network in the future, which had been widely used in many fields. With the purpose of applying Cloud Computing to academic library, the paper firstly described Cloud Computing and analyzed the current status of user service models in academic libraries. Then it proposed to improve current user service model with Cloud Computing. And at last the author put forward the bright prospect of user service models based on Cloud Computing.
