    Cloud-based Services: Prospects for the University Libraries
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2013-03-23) Choukimath, Puttaraj A; Agadi, K B; Koganuramath, Muttayya M
    University libraries are set to build and manage their own data centres. In this data-model libraries would gain more control over the software applications and data stores. Cloud-based technologies are here to make this possible. This paper, discusses meaning, definition, and characteristics of cloudbased computing. It emphasises on IT infrastructure and highlights the potentialities of libraries in implementation of these technologies. It also gives brief introduction to the challenges posed by cloud-based library services. The objective of this paper is to investigate and design reference architecture to digital library systems with scalability using cloud computing. This paper intend to explore the possibilities with ‘cloud-based technologies’ as ‘must adoptable’, feasible prospects for future of university library systems in building highly scalable and robust information systems.

    Reengineering Library Services with Emerging Technologies
    (2013-12-12) Shastri, Devashri; Chudasma, Pradipsinh
    The emergence of ICT has made communication process dynamic and interaction across boundaries is now possible, fast and reliable. Libraries and information centers should now adopt these technologies to provide services to their patrons by using mobile phones, cellular networks, cable television and internet. In library scenario, the needs of users are always dynamic and to satisfy diverse needs of all users quickly is a complex task for any knowledge professional or librarian. ICT, Internet and library automation softwares made it possible for users to locate what they want without going to library and fulfill their needs. In information system user is an important component and “Know thy Customer” is a cardinal rule. This article focuses on how advanced technologies like mobile technology, cloud computing, GIS and WWW will play effective role in creating, processing, storing and disseminating information in a library scenario.

    Securing the Clouds
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2013-03-23) Ahmed, Mohammed Imtiaz; Ahmed, Mohammed Bakhtawar; Das, Debojit
    Cloud computing is all the rage. “It’s become the phrase du jour,” says Gartner senior analyst Ben Pring [16]. While some consider it as a future derived technology that will not only help organisations to gain more profit but will also have a positive impact on the environment, others consider it as a past derived technology which is a refined version of Timesharing model from late 1960’s and nothing new. Whatever the words be, Cloud computing has gained a lot of attention in the recent years and has a wide scope in the IT industry and the big IT giants are all set to provide cloud services to the clients, as they require. Beside its wide possibilities, one threat that cloud faces is of its security issues. As in cloud computing, the data resides in the third party data centers, and the data is always vulnerable to attacks and changes. The changes or modification of data can be in from of a third party attack where a unauthorised person makes unwanted modification in the data or it can be a insider attack where an authorised person makes unauthorised changes in data. In this paper we identify some areas where cryptography can help a rapid adoption of cloud computing. Although secure storage has already captured the attention of many cloud providers, offering a higher level of protection for their customer’s data, we think that more advanced techniques such as searchable encryption will become popular in the near future, opening the doors of the Cloud to customers with higher security requirements.
