Abstract

The evolution of library automation established in four periods -pre-MARC, after of OCLC, after Internet and Internet socialization- can explain the birth of cloud computing applied to libraries and documentation centres as an alternative to traditional integrated library systems (ILS). Based on this technological development, the advantages and disadvantages of cloud services are analyzed. In this work, these features are linked with two OCLC services: WorldShare for libraries and CONTENTdm a digital collection management software. Of these two services examples of use are showed.
