Therefore, libraries all over the world try to implement cloud computing to take advantage of its features and services and try to improve the infrastructure and services. However, cloud computing is not a magic solution for all. There are also some disadvantages with its aspects of cloud computing; it also prescribes the best practices to implement it in a library environment to gain the maximum advantage from it. The intention of this paper is to tackle this type of decision. Indeed, different types of CC deployment are available; selecting a suitable one is extremely important, for it can alter the requirements of various stakeholders: students, teachers, administrative staff (especially the IT department members), etc., apart from affecting the overall performance of the existing facility, such as a laboratory.
