ways to use cloud-based systems to leverage their access and use of digital
information. The past year has seen growth in the use of cloud computing
solutions in libraries. This session will focus on examining current and
emerging trends in cloud computing. The session will include a panel of
cloud computing practitioners and researchers and time for questions and
discussion.
