Abstract

Cloud Computing has emerged as the latest buzzword in the Information Technology (IT) sector. Libraries are no longer an exception which are keen to migrate themselves from brick and mortar to the cloud. The present study tries to explore the factors that drive the adoption of cloud computing in academic libraries. The study investigates the impact of librarian‘s personal traits on adoption of cloud computing through Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Questionnaire survey was conducted in 29 central university libraries in India, which were analysed through Pearson‘s correlation tests. The results revealed that TAM variables to a great extent catalysed the cloud computing adoption.
