librarians employ cloud computing apps to provide statistics services; instead, librarians will use applications that can be accessed remotely. According to Majhi, Meher, and Maharana (2015), cloud computing is a type of technology that allows for the sharing of services and information resources over the internet rather than on a local server or personal devices. According to the preceding definitions, cloud computing (CC) is just a system that pools resources for quick online unlimited access. In this day and age of library technology, It is claimed that using internet technology, Numerous clients of outside libraries are given access to some scalable data or information resources in the form of services. In the form of services to various external library patrons using internet technology. Sudhier and Seena (2018) defined IaaS (infrastructure as a service), PaaS (platform as a service), SaaS (software as a service), and DaaS (desktop as a service) as concepts that support cloud computing in our libraries. They defined IaaS as a virtualized computer infrastructure, and PaaS as an integrated platform for developing, analyzing, testing, deploying, and supporting web appliances. SaaS is a business model that encourages software companies to build and support their products. DaaS is regarded as a more advanced platform than SaaS. service) and DaaS (Desktop as a service). As a result of the preceding discussion, it is evident that the concept of cloud computing cannot be overstated because it enables librarians to offer a variety of services using the internet. The resources may include, but are not limited to, tools and applications such as software, data, servers, databases, networking/internet, storage, and so on. platform ahead of SaaS. Instead of the traditional method of storing documents and files on a proprietary hard drive for future access.
attitudes concerning Cloud Computing in the Academic library. Five study objectives were established to drive this research effort, including determining librarians' level of awareness of cloud computing, their perspective of cloud computing, their attitude toward cloud computing, and others. It used a descriptive study strategy with a quantitative approach. The study's population included 69 librarians, however a census sample approach was used to create 54 responders, and just a questionnaire was used to collect data. The Statistical Product and Services Solution (SPSS) program version 21 was used in the study to create percentages and frequencies from quantitative data that was displayed in tables. The study's findings found that librarians are aware of Cloud Computing technology; they have a favourable impression of it and are open to it, among other things. It was therefore recommended that library directors always urge workers to not only be aware of new technologies but also to take a risk in implementing these technologies. They ought to make an effort to pay for workers to attend more seminars, conferences, and studies. Key Words: Cloud computing, librarians, academic libraries, perspective, attitude.
1. INTRODUCTION Today, the world is changing geometrically and profoundly for the better in the field of technology. Today, people across the board of the economy are beginning to think creatively and find new, more productive ways to do tasks. This has been a top priority for libraries and librarians in their efforts to fundamentally transform the library industry. Today's librarians talk about maker spaces, computerization, digitization, and the cloud library sector.. Computerization, digitization, maker spaces, cloud computing, and other technical advancements are topics that librarians discuss today. According to Yuvaras (2015), cloud computing is a computing type in which a vast number of IT devices, including computers, are usually used to offer services. The term "cloud applications" refers to any webhosted application. There will no longer be a need for users

Frankenfield (2019) backed this up by claiming that cloud computing is so named because the information is accessed remotely, either in a virtual environment or in the cloud. According to Huang, Liu, and Liu (2012), with the support of a network in cloud computing, learners can receive a lot of information and communicate with each other quickly and effortlessly, and learning is no longer limited to the classroom. Although several studies have been
