Review

"...an excellent overview of the subject and an enjoyable read" (Australian Library Journal)

"As most new library systems are shifting to the cloud the author is able to use the context of cloud computing to talk about modern library systems development and how libraries can adapt to these new systems. The author covers a lot of ground in this book but it never feels overwhelming. Unlike much material around cloud computing today the content in the book is very grounded and practical. The author’s in-depth knowledge of the topic shines through and provides a solid and engaging read. This book is very pertinent to modern libraries systems management and a highly recommended read for all library systems staff." (Australian Academic & Research Libraries)
