Keynote Speaker 2 — The future of management services on the web
Matt Goldner, OCLC Product and Technology Advocate

The provision of management applications online, accessible through a web browser, with software and data hosted "in the cloud" is a model now in common use in many business environments.  OCLC will explore what it means for libraries to have management services delivered via cloud computing services.  In what ways can we expect library workflows to be enhanced and streamlined by a shift of services to the web?  Does such a technology shift allow libraries to provide better services to their constituency? Why and how OCLC is moving routine but critical library services to the cloud will be discussed.
