Thesis: Student | Confidential Digital libraries and cloud computing: A proposal for developing the digital libraries of universities
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The information age has made futuristic steps into boosting our everyday life. One aspect of its manifestation would be its impact upon digital libraries, including its abilities to preserve and present its multi-services throughout cyberspace. Libraries in the near future may soon be a network of virtual buildings which can manage its own database through individual virtual centres, such as clouds computing, a new technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. This perspective would let libraries and digital libraries preserve and maintain more control over the metadata, data storage, and applications, which may contain private and sensitive information of their participants who are using the database. The maintenance and provision of infrastructure for Web-based Digital Libraries would present several challenges. In this paper, the author will discuss the idea, problems faced by digital libraries in parallel with the usage of Cloud computing. In addition to the development efforts and solutions to overcome these problems by presenting a series of web-connected virtual digital libraries through Cloud computing, which can be replaced the contents of physical libraries with a Cloud infrastructure one. Cloud computing, as an infrastructure virtualisation, is undoubtedly an attractive choice which is usually challenged by the growth of indexed collections of documents, its prominent usage, and its new features. This paper will describe the current status of conventional service models in university libraries and their connection to public libraries, with the purpose of applying a Cloud computing infrastructure. Then, it proposes a solution to improve the current services model with cloud computing layer IaaS.07/2012, Degree: MSc Digital Architecture, Supervisor: Martyn Dade-Robertson
