*NISO September Virtual Conference: Library Data in the Cloud*
Virtual conferences are 5-6 hour conferences held online in webinar-like
formats, with occasional breaks in the schedule for participants. The
longer length allows the depth of coverage of a conference coupled with
the convenience of a webinar.
*Date:* September 24, 2014
*Time: *11:00 am - 5:00 pm Eastern

*ABOUT THE VIRTUAL CONFERENCE*
Cloud computing seems to be a growing trend, no matter the industry or
type of information system. Library systems are no stranger to this
trend; just about every major systems provider has a cloud-based
solution available. While many factors for selecting a cloud system are
similar to those for any information system decision, there are some
special issues and challenges for storing your data in the cloud,
including security, privacy, ownership, interoperability, and
transferability.
In NISO's September 24 virtual conference, *Library Data in the
Cloud*---to be held from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm EDT---libraries that have
explored the use of cloud systems will discuss their experiences, their
concerns, issues encountered, and lessons learned.
