NoRemember task: Cloud Computing

Pretty well-put-together video.  We use cloud computing to some extent here at the library with several of the online resources we access.  Services that we offer such as Ancestry and Optimal Resume fall in this category.  These help both our bottom line and our patrons by making things available that we otherwise couldn't afford to support or maintain.  Another minor example of cloud computing that we make use of is the shared server.  Although it is housed here on site, it permits access to the files on that computer from any one of our workstations either here or at the branches, meaning that the information does not have to be duplicated for each site or workstation.
