“…Despite the generality of some of these articles, they contained some specific elements, such as cloud-based e-learning systems [66], strategy and recommendations for effective adaption [64], CC infrastructure for universities [60], [62], or co-word analysis of CC in education [59]. Other papers, including [19], [70]- [89] (21/70), were written with a specific purpose, and they were related to the effectiveness of CC that has been adopted by HEIs [19], [79].…”

Cloud computing (CC) is a recently developed computing paradigm that can be utilized to deliver everything-as-a-service to various businesses. In higher education institutions (HEIs), CC is rapidly being deployed and becoming an integral part of institution experience. CC adoption in HEIs is accompanied by numerous scientific contributions that address the topic from different perspectives. A systematic review of these heterogeneous contributions, which provide a coherent taxonomy, can be considered interesting for HEIs to identify opportunities to use CC in its own context. Therefore, this systematic literature review aims to analyze existing research on adopting and using CC in HEIs, review background research to develop a coherent taxonomy and provide a landscape for future research on CC in HEIs. The outcomes of this paper include a coherent taxonomy and an overview of the basic characteristics of this emerging field in terms of motivation and barriers of adopting CC in HEIs, existing individual and organizational theoretical models to understand the future requirements for extensively adopting and using CC in HEIs, and factors that influence the adoption of CC in HEIs at individual and organizational levels. Considerable information is available in relation to adopting and using CC in HEIs. This review will enhance this information by offering an in-depth analysis of the existing data to bridge any gap and expand on existing literature.

“…In 2015, Yuvaraj published a study of how cloudbased software and tools are providing solutions for libraries. Yuvaraj (2015) [and] Fedora," (p. 28). PaaS refers to cloud-based "operating systems, tools, and applications" such as integrated library systems (ILS) like Alma and Koha, or tools like Google Docs and Google Sheets (p. 28).…”

Between 2018 and 2019, two librarians at the College of Charleston Libraries incorporated cloud-based technologies into their collection management workflows. The following paper was derived from a presentation they prepared for the 2020 North Carolina Serials Conference, which was to be held on March 27, 2020 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina but was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper highlights which cloud technologies they use and provides an overview of the literature that has been published on project management and cloud-based technologies in libraries. It includes an explanation of how they use each tool, and provides examples for setting up each tool in different scenarios so that other collection management librarians may implement them into their own routines. The paper ends with an exploration of the advantages and disadvantages of integrating these tools into collection management workflows. Although the librarians had not prepared to discuss the role these technologies may play when working remotely, they have both found them invaluable during this unprecedented time when many librarians are working from home.

“…Technologically, we use cloud computing because we can and its convenient. Economically, it is cost-effective and pocket-friendly, and finally it makes interactivity easier to achieve with the target audiences (Yuvaraj, 2015a, 2015b). Cloud computing is also going to change the practice of traditional reprographic services offered in the libraries.…”

“…There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm around cloud-based solutions and services (filtering, sorting, categorization and analytics to help users manage the vast repositories of both structured and unstructured information), as well as the cost-savings and flexibility that they can provide (Rhoton, 2009). Recent studies have debated over the significance of cloud computing and presented a structural model of cloud libraries that are based upon cloud computing (Yuvaraj, 2014, 2015a, 2015b).…”

Purpose The paper aims to examine the constructs laid down by the information technology (IT) adoption theories to the cloud computing phenomena in conjunction with academic libraries of India to determine the factors responsible for the adoption of cloud computing. Design/methodology/approach Keeping the objectives into consideration, descriptive survey and constructive research method were used in the study. Library professionals engaged in the selected 28 central universities of India were chosen to participate in this study. To find the core drivers responsible for the adoption of cloud computing in academic libraries, constructs were taken from ten IT adoption theories. Findings The findings validate the fact that perceived ease of use, usefulness and ubiquitous availability of the enabling technology are strong drivers of the adoption of cloud computing technology in the libraries. Also, attitude is significantly correlated with the behavioral intention to adopt cloud computing services. High level of correlation was obtained between the cloud computing-perceived attributes and the librarian’s intention to use cloud computing technology. However, security risk is the biggest issue that has been affecting the behavioral intentions. Originality/value The study is a self-conscious attempt to fill the void and determine factors for the adoption of cloud computing in libraries. Further, it attempts to find out the preparedness of Indian academic libraries in adopting cloud computing.
