Author(s): Elwin Zohminglien Thangjom
Abstract - Academic libraries consistently embrace advanced technologies pertinent to current technology and traditional services. Their motive is to provide information that can be used in teaching and research for longer. Cloud computing is a technology that libraries and other institutions currently use to manage their online information resources. The study highlighted the various services where cloud technology can be employed in academic libraries. The major objective of the study is to identify the benefits and applications of cloud technology for library services. A wide range of literature has been collected and reviewed to furnish all relevant information for the study. The study strongly encouraged the use of cloud technology because of its numerous benefits, including the ability to reach a huge number of people for library services. Cloud technology enables both library users and professionals to access and administer library resources at any time from any location. The library profession is developing further as a result of the rise of online publications, e-libraries, internet usage, online-based library applications, and consortium implementation.
