*ABOUT THE WEBINAR*

When young, we look to the sky and see shapes in clouds. We watch as the
cloud reshapes into something else. Like actual clouds, the world of
digital cloud-based tools seems to also be ever changing as this new
technology is developed. For librarians, trend of moving ILS systems to the
cloud has exciting possibilities but enthusiasm is tempered by uncertainty.
Cloud-based web services are a somewhat new tool, and as such, options are
limited. These services are being continuously upgraded, and librarians
need to have a voice in the development of these tools to be sure their
needs are met.

Libraries have needs that are complex and evolving and available ILS
systems are presently limited in their abilities. Minimally, an  ILS system
will track what the library owns, its patrons, what they have borrowed, and
other general library services. These minimal functions do not take into
account the need for integration with the wider array of online services
libraries offer nor integration into services of the libraries’ academic
institution.

This webinar will discuss what capabilities libraries need versus the
capabilities currently offered in commercial ILS systems, and possible
short-term solutions as well as helping ILS cloud services to understand
better what future versions of their products should include.

Confirmed topics and speakers are:

   - *Utilizing the Cloud to Empower Research Efforts - **John “JG”
   Chirapurath, Senior Vice President and General Manager, ProQuest Workflow
   Solutions  *
   - *Migrating CDL Infrastructure to Amazon Web Services - **Kurt
