Abstract: In era of knowledge based economy and globalization of world economy, a new opportunity has been emerged as a management issue within the spectrum of information management, information technology, artificial intelligence, expert system, semantic web, neural network, cognitive sciences, mathematics and management theory, economics and recently Cloud Computing. This study tries to give a different perspective of the cloud application through a knowledge management perspective and its structure in the cloud computing environment. In recent years, there has been a great hype about cloud computing and different books and literature reviews have classified different types of cloud with various definitions and criteria focusing on mainly three different layers of services being infrastructure, platform and software. The benefit of cloud computing is supply of services anytime, anywhere device-agnostic access. This paper provides a metaobservation over an integrated cloud ecosystem through the knowledge window. Achieving Knowledge Management through Cloud Computing has expanded new insights, vision and practices. This article critically evaluates ways to achieve knowledge management though cloud computing.

Abstract: Few Library automation software packages are available in the market. But the cost of the software package, bar code reader, bar code labels and in all the total cost is not affordable to most of the public libraries particularly from rural areas. Most of these software packages allow the data entry of the bibliographic details of the document in English only and allow to take output reports in English language only. Few packages allow the data entry in Devnagari script, but these modules are costly and needs to be purchased separately. The authors, therefore, tried to develop a model library automation multilingual package, which will be helpful to save on costs incurred, allow to enter details in local language, and source code will be made available to make modifications (if required) in it.
