NCompass Live - 6/10/15 http://nlc.nebraska.gov/ncompasslive/ Cloud computing can be confusing - the number and types of services that are available through "the cloud" are growing by the day. Robin Hastings, author of Making the Most of the Cloud: How to Choose and Implement the Best Services for Your Library, takes you through some of the more popular cloud services in libraries and breaks down what you need to know to pick the best one for your library. She will cover services that can be accessed through the cloud (ILS, email, photo editing and more) and give tips on what to consider when making decisions about those services (security and training, specifically).

- Introduction
- Cloud image Cloud has 2 definitions - a server somewhere that isn’t in your building (next slide)
- Network/cloud diagram image and a more techie definition that requires software and architecture that allows cloud-based data to span server, be scaleable and moveable if necessary, multiplatform, on demand self-service (necessary?), measured service I’m not a purist – some of these services aren’t 100% “cloud” according to technical, official definitions, but they hit at least some of the high points
- These are kinds of cloud services available today – many more than these, these are just most common (Desktop as a Service, etc.) Gdocs – how is it cloudy? Self-serve, distributed, multiplatform, scalable PaaS – combination of SaaS and IaaS
- Externally managed and hosted ILS Web hosting is traditional Backups – moving from tape and sneakernet Computer Management from desktop computer maintenance to PCC management Email is now assumed cloud-ready Social media is on the cloud, why not manage it there? Graphical editors and other types of software (Project Management, etc.) are moving to cloud, too
- Image of Card Catalog – as far away from cloud-based ILS as possible
- Koha – self-serve, sort of not really, it is multiplatform, scalable and distributed (though the distribution of your data isn’t something you would necessarily be aware of, just like in Gmail), measured service
- Blake Carver, on Ncompass a couple of weeks ago talking about security, also runs LIS Host
- Dropbox/Box.net – computer level Crashplan/Mozy Pro – organization level AWS – techie level, requires sync software (like Bittorrent Sync) to work How many out there still use tape to do backups? Any backup that relies on human beings is guaranteed to fail at some point
- How many here manage your social media at all?
- Specialty Sites: FotoFlexer – photo editor, not for creating original images Lunapic – photo editor with lots of effects
- Security – hear lots about breakins, but big services have teams dedicated to securing data, does your org? Security by obscurity eventually fails, too many “bots” scanning the net to not find you eventually (server at MRRL taken by crackerz) Not only training about cloud services, but training delivered via cloud services (Lynda, etc.) Bandwidth vs. hardware in house (tradeoff) Staff Comfort – outlook to Gmail training for MRRL Tradeoffs abound, consider what’s best for your organization
