Now after the digital and virtual era the libraries are adopting the new technology that is cloud computing.The libraries can simplify their processes, save time and money by using cloud computing. There will be no need of local hosting servers and other equipment´s. And also can put full stop to frequent software installations, upgrades, hardware failures and any other compatibility problems. This article describes the term `cloud computing´ and discusses how cloud computing technology overtook the digital and virtual library technologies.
