• Winds of Change: a taxonomy of clouds for libraries  [PDF, Report and slide presentation]
  Cloud computing is a new technology model for IT services which many
  businesses and organizations are adopting. It allows them to avoid locally hosting
  multiple servers and equipment and constantly dealing with hardware failure, software
  installs,  upgrades and compatibility issues. For many organizations, cloud
  computing can simplify processes and save time and money. This article defines cloud
  computing and shows how it is different from other types of computing. It also
  discusses how  cloud computing solutions could be beneficial to libraries in three
  basic areas: technology, data and community.

  The first "Perceptions of libraries" report was published by OCLC in 2005. This report to the OCLC membership summarized findings of an international study on information-seeking habits and preferences. The study was conducted to help us learn more about: library use; awareness and use of library electronic resources and Internet search engines; use of free vs. for-fee information; and the "Library" brand. Once it was published, numerous elements became of tremendous value for library planning. Five years later, OCLC felt it was time to survey the landscape once more to see how these perceptions had evolved in light of our ever changing environment. Similar purposes are again explored such as look at users' awareness, usage and perceptions of electronic resources, trust of libraries, awareness of resources, patrons' perceptions of the library, but new elements are introduced in this report and they will be shared during the session.

  Developing new library services can now mean mixing data and functionality from several sources into “mash-ups” to provide a unique and powerful user experience.

Still others have found creative ways to deliver traditional programs to new populations.

  Join our keynote speaker, Michael Schrage, author of Shared Minds—The New Technologies of Collaboration and columnist for CIO and MIT's Technology Review, and our panel of three librarians who have developed their own mash-ups.
