Cloud Computing Systems

It is embarrassing to accept it, but for me this term was probably the most difficult to define. After investigating some resources, I concluded that cloud computing is services where the user stores or pulls out information from the Internet. Some of the goals of using cloud according to Yan Han author of On the Clouds: A New way of Computing  are "to support research, learning and teaching" Also, to help on the management of different library functions which replace the traditional way  these would be performed. I must mention that many times handling this type of systems can be challenging for librarians because of all the knowledge of technology required. In addition one of the reasons cloud is successful, is because it only charges what is used.
