Abstract
Application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Library and Information Centre
(LIC) brings significant changes in its systems and services. The LIC always tries to apply various
ICT tools to make the systems and services more user-friendly. Cloud computing is the recent one in
this row. This paper shows how the Google’s cloud based service, i.e., Google Drive can be used in a
college library. In college library, for purchasing the library books, the faculty members usually
submit their requisite list of books in plain paper or in a prescribed form containing different columns
for bibliographic information and number of copies required. In this process, a librarian faces different
obstacles. Google Drive is one of the to solutions to overcome from this issue. This study is
completely based on a practical approach followed in Pub Kamrup College Library and it is in
initial stage/trial stage.
