Application of cloud computing in book management

The library collects, collates, stores and processes all kinds of information resources through the system, the aim of which is to expect more users to discover and use them. As a communication culture and social education institution, its special nature determines that it must serve the society and serve the public. Due to the arrival of large data age, in order to better adapt to large information society, the traditional library information service needs to integrate advantages, improve the level of management and service, from the infrastructure level to solve many long-term problems of library network information management and service.

Cloud computing has had a huge impact in just two or three years because of the convergence of cloud computing resources, the need to automate management, and the advantages of no human involvement, high efficiency, low cost, and dynamic expansion. Because of the special nature of book management, the application of cloud computing in the field of library enables the library to solve many problems that have plagued the library's Network information management and service from the infrastructure level, thus making the book Management Service play a more important role.

Firstly, as a part of information Resource Center, library provides convenient reading service for people through network. At the same time, the data in the library is concentrated on the server in the museum, and once the server fails, the library can not provide normal services to users, more serious may result in loss of data. This also causes the library to face the server to be hacker's malicious attack as well as the server cannot satisfy the user demand and so on a series of questions.

Secondly, the hardware resources of the servers in the traditional information architecture are limited, and if the server responds to the number of users more than its own limit will cause the server paralysis, so in order to ensure the network information security, the library has restricted the number of accesses to the terminals. So when the traffic surge, many users will not log on the system, which also makes the customer experience greatly reduced.

However, cloud computing, as a new computing technology, is an internet-based computing, and is a new way of sharing infrastructure. The core idea is to split the huge computational processing program into countless smaller subroutines through the network. Then the processing results are passed back to the user after the large system calculation and analysis of the multiple servers. The ultimate goal is to make full use of Internet resources and build powerful computing centers. And based on this to provide a wide range of computing services, users can at any time, any place can be convenient to enjoy a variety of services. Therefore, the use of cloud computing in book management will solve many of the problems of traditional information infrastructures.

At present, many foreign library organizations and associations have been discussing how to use cloud computing in libraries. It is understood that the library of Congress and the Duraspace Company's Duracloud project, in order to effectively address the national public digital heritage effective access and preservation of services, the United States Congress Library of National Digital Information Infrastructure and conservation project (Nation Digital Information infrastructure and preservation Program,ndiipp, together with Duraspace, announced the launch of a one-year pilot project, Partners in the NDIIPP project-the New York Public Library and the Biodiversity History Library (biodiversity Heritage)-also participated in the project's experiment. The main purpose of this pilot is to detect the performance of cloud technology in maintaining permanent access to digital content, leveraging remote computers over the network to provide localized services to users, supported by cloud services, providing storage and access services, including content replication and content monitoring services that enable interoperability among a number of cloud storage service providers. This also reflects the library's further application of cloud computing is an important witness.

The use of cloud computing in the library can gain a lot of advantages, in cloud computing, users only need to spend a small amount of money to rent the relevant services provided by the cloud service can be. It allows users to use a small amount of investment to achieve greater returns. It is not necessary to worry about the elimination of the IT product you purchased because the specific hardware configuration and updates are provided by the cloud service provider. Another point is that cloud computing has super computing power, and cloud computing provides the most appropriate computing power by consolidating resources, supporting the good functioning of databases, and ensuring that resources are fully exploited. In addition, it provides users with a safe, reliable, cost-effective data storage center, users can no longer worry about data loss, virus intrusion and other problems. At the same time, cloud computing on the user side of the device is very low (users use mobile phones, PDA and other equipment can also use the library to provide electronic resources services.) ), it is also very convenient to use. In addition, the cloud computing model can provide a powerful wireless access function, so users can use the library's electronic resources through a variety of related terminals, so that the function of Library Resource Center is maximized.

New IT technology invention and application, will promote the social whole or local change, with the cloud meter in the book Management test and practice, I believe that under the condition of deepening technology understanding, cloud computing would help the library solve the problems of security, resources and so on, and make the library better serve the society.
