Adoption of Cloud computing in recent years has gained momentum within various avenues round the globe due to its characteristics like elasticity, virtualization and pay-as-you-go pricing. In tune with the trend various companies have evolved which are offering web applications.

The book combines both theoretical and practical perspectives of cloud computing with a slant towards library and information centres.
