Introductionsection

WiththepopularityofInternetandupgradingnetworktechnology,Ithasquietlyenteredourlivesbecomingapartofpeople’slives，changingourwayoflife。Weusedlearnandacquireknowledgeintheclassroom，booksandlibraries。Nowwecanquerytheinformationwewantatcomfortablehome。Computertechnologybroughtfreshbloodtotheoldlibraryscience，alsobroughtinevitableproblems.Today，theshortcomingsmaliciousattackorasingleservermodewillleadirreparabledamagetothelostoflibraries’importantinformation.Nowwewillleveragecloudcomputingtechnologytohelpavoidlossofdigitallibraries,andprovidegoodserviceforreadersbetterandmorehumaneway。

DigitalLibraryisathingproducedcertainlywiththedevelopmentoftheInternet,theadvantageisobviouscomparedwiththetraditionallibrary。ItmakestheInformationstoragespacegreatlyreducedwithoutdamage,andInformationretrievalmoreconvenient。achievingthetargetofremotetransmissionofinformationandinformationSharing，soallcollegesanduniversitiesareactivelybuildingthedigitallibrary。

However，CurrentdigitalLibraryisfacedwithaseriesofproblemssuchassecurityrisks，difficultiesinsystemmaintenanceandlargecapitalinvestment，leadingtothedevelopmentofdigitalLibraryexperienceddifficulties。Technologyisadvancingrapidly，nowadays，theemergenceofcloudcomputingtechnologyhasbroughtnewhopeandvitalitytotheDigitalLibrary,itwillhelpdigitallibraryoutofdilemma，andprovidethenecessaryservicesforreadersbetter。
