Unit 14 Notes
What cloud computing really means
This article offered the following definitions in it's explanation of Cloud computing:
SaaS - A type of cloud computing that delivers a single application through the browser to thousands of customers.
Utility computing - This form of cloud computing is getting new life from Amazon.com, Sun, IBM, and others who now offer storage and virtual servers that IT can access on demand. Early enterprise adopters mainly use utility computing for supplemental, non-mission-critical needs,
Web services - Closely related to SaaS, Web service providers offer APIs that allow developers to exploit functionality.
Platform as a service - Another SaaS variation, this form of cloud computing delivers development environments as a service
MSP (managed service providers) - One of the oldest forms of cloud computing, a managed service is basically an application exposed to IT rather than to end-users.
Service commerce platforms - A hybrid of SaaS and MSP, this cloud computing service offers a service hub that users interact with.
Internet integration - The integration of cloud-based services is in its early days.

Christopher Barnatt explains that cloud computing is closely related to web 2.0. He explains that the whole idea is to offer software as a service that you use on your browser and don't install into your own computer. He also introduced the idea of Hardware as a service (hsas)
The Davinci Institute
"Throughout history the role of the library was to serve as a storehouse, an archive of manuscripts, art, and important documents. The library was the center of information revered by most because each contained the foundational building blocks of information for all humanity."
Here are the trends that are affecting Library services today:
1 - Communication systems are continually changing the way people access information
2 - All technology ends. All technologies commonly used today will be replaced by something new.
3 - We haven’t yet reached the ultimate small particle for storage. But soon.
4 - Search Technology will become increasingly more complicated
5 - Time compression is changing the lifestyle of library patrons
6 - Over time we will be transitioning to a verbal society
7 - The demand for global information is growing exponentially
8 - The Stage is being set for a new era of Global Systems
9 – We are transitioning from a product-based economy to an experience based economy
10 - Libraries will transition from a center of information to a center of culture
Recommendations for Libraries:
1) Embrace new information technologies.
2) Create a technology advisory board and stay in close communication with them
3) Preserve the memories of your own communities.
4) Experiment with creative spaces. " Our best advice is to enjoy the journey and relish in the wonderment of what tomorrow may bring. "

Week 13 Notes
No Place to Hide
Wow! Everywhere we go we're being watched? The guy watching me must be board out of his mind! How does this affect the business of Library and information Science? Is someone checking on what we "check out?" Are libraries going to be required to allow government agencies access to their computers? What will happen if you check out a book on Stalin? Or Terrorism? Or anti-government movements? This doesn't seem very American to me.Total "Terrorism" Information Awareness (TIA)
The idea that the government is sifting through databases looking at personal information is a bit too 1984 for me. I understand that our country fears another major terrorist attack like 9/11. I fear it too. I agree that efforts must be made to avoid that possibility. I do not believe that our personal liberties should be given up in order to protect us. No, I don't mind going through all of the security at the air port, and the ramifications of the patriot act irritate me only slightly when I am doing my banking, but further sharing of my private information...where will it lead?YouTube
Believe it or not "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Viacom International Inc." That sends its own kind of message. This would be a good discussion for lis2000.
