Abstract
雲端計算作為一種新興的、利用多元技術來提供基於網路的IT 服務計算模式，在近幾年來已成為熱門話題。許多文章論述了有關雲端計算的概念及其在IT 和商業中的應用模式，但卻少見對其在圖書館領域中運用的闡述。本文首先介紹有關雲端計算的概念、類型，以及一些基本的應用模式。隨後，本文著眼於雲端計算對圖書館和資訊服務的意義，探討雲端計算在圖書館數位資源儲存、整合圖書館系統、圖書館資訊科技的設施建設、圖書館服務和內部作圖書館學與資訊科學 37（2）：166 – 174 （民一百年十月） 167業等方面產生的影響以及圖書館運用雲端計算的潛在效益。本文剖析圖書館採用雲端計算的益處之時，也同時探討可能面臨的一些問題和挑戰。
Cloud computing, as an emerging style ofcomputing that involves various technologiesand provides virtual and scalable IT-relatedservices over the Internet, has become apopular topic in the past few years. Much hasbeen written about this concept and itsapplications in the IT and business fields, butlittle has been done in the library setting. Thispaper first introduces cloud computing withrespect to its concepts, types, and generalapplications. The focus is then shifted to whatcloud computing might mean to libraries andinformation services. The impact of cloudcomputing on the storage of libraries’ digitalassets, integrated library systems, libraries’IT infrastructures, as well as library servicesand internal work, has been investigated.The paper also explores the potentialbenefits of incorporating cloud computing inthe library environment and points out someconcerns and challenges libraries may have.
