Universities, companies, governments, politicians, citizens, the Vatican, and others are buzzing about cloud computing. But what is it? How do you use it? Will you even *need* to use it, and if so, what are the major things you should know about it? With our February presentation, Tech-Connect is kicking off a new series of Brown Bag lunches for 2011, called The Year of the Cloud. Bring your lunch and come join Stormy Stark and Matt Litchfield as they explain cloud computing in language everyone can understand. We’ll bring the cookies and water, you bring your questions about cloud computing, and by the end of the hour, you'll be ready to take a walk in the clouds! ---endorsed by Your on-the-Grounds and in-the-Cloud librarians, Kay and Carole
