Abstract

Rapid advances in information processing, storage, and communication technologies have revolutionized the role of the libraries.

It comparatively covers the library cloud-based platforms, services, management systems, innovative products and opened environments in terms of their characteristics, added values, pros and cons. A comprehensive survey on the digital libraries in the cloud era is presented in this chapter.
