The Malaysian government has initiated a cloud government project as an integration of cloud computing and unified communication-based applications toward the digital and cloud work environment. However, the impact studies have found that the implementation of this project has several weaknesses such as lack of infrastructure support, weak IT knowledge, and lack of awareness among public sector employees causing applications not to be fully utilized. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a study to measure the acceptance of government cloud project because there has been much investment in the project. This study applied Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), Technology Readiness Index (TRI) and several factors to develop the research model which is divided into two main factors: technological and human. The technological factor might determine the likelihood of its acceptance by the public sector and might stimulate them to accept it. The human factor as the characteristics of the people in the public sector that may contribute to creating the need for and ability to accept cloud computing. This proposed model will be used to evaluate the individual acceptance of cloud computing in the Malaysian public sector. For future work, this model needs to be enriched with interview sessions and quantitative surveys to validate the findings.

“…The government support means the policies, rules and regulations set by the authorities to assist in the implementation of the technology [70]. The government significantly impacts the organizations [14,70] to adopt CC by offering fiscal incentives [14,29], instituting adequate regulatory framework [14], and creating a trustworthy environment [50]. In the Indian context, any kind of strategic decision like CCA with financial implications in an India PU is governed by the government policy framework.…”

In the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the need to adopt cloud computing (CC) applications by education institutions, in general, and higher education (HE) institutions, in particular, has especially increased to engage students in an online mode and remotely carrying out research. The adoption of CC across various sectors, including HE, has been picking momentum in the developing countries in the last few years. In the Indian context, the CC adaptation in the HE sector (HES) remains a less thoroughly explored sector, and no comprehensive study is reported in the literature. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to overcome this research vacuum and examine the factors that impact the CC adoption (CCA) by HE institutions (HEIs) in India. The scope of the study is limited to public universities (PUs) in India. There are, in total, 465 Indian PUs and among these 304 PUs, (i.e., 65% PUs) are surveyed using questionnaire-based research. The study has put forth a novel integrated technology adoption framework consisting of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE), and Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) in the context of the HES. This integrated TAM-TOE-DOI framework is utilized in the study to analyze eleven hypotheses concerning factors of CCA that have been tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The findings reveal that competitive advantage (CA), technology compatibility (TC), technology readiness (TR), senior leadership support, security concerns, government support, and vendor support are the significant contributing factors of CCA by Indian PUs. The study contends that whereas the rest of the factors positively affect the PUs' intention towards CCA, security concerns are a significant reason for the reluctance of these universities against adopting CC. The findings demonstrated the application of an integrated TAM-TOE-DOI framework to assess determining factors of CCA in Indian PUs. Further, the study has given useful insights into the successful CCA by Indian PUs, which will facilitate eLearning and remote working during COVID-19 or similar outbreak.

“…Ensuring the succesful adoption of new technology can be challenging and it is therefore appropriate to review and discuss various enabling factors in public libraries. Several studies identified factors for the successful adoption of modern technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing and IoT, within public libraries including implementation of policies, proper technological infrastructure, IT knowledge and skills, proper allocation of resources and establishing collaboration and partnerships (Corrado & Moulaison 2014;Raju 2014; Council of Canadian Academies 2015; Amron et al 2019). A compliant records management system is imperative for all organizations to manage their records throughout their life-cycle.…”

“…Institutional commitment and support have an impact on the succesful implementation of new technologies. Management has the power to adopt or reject new technologies from being used by the organization (Amron et al 2019). One of the most important components of institutional commitment to any project is financial support.…”

Many organisations, including libraries and information centres are struggling to manage their records. Effective management of records ensures the public library’s ability to function effectively and provides documentary evidence of scholars and citizens. Recently, modern technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT) have increasingly been adopted by various organisations to manage records while other organisations are slow to adopt them. Public libraries are positioning themselves to take this advantage by implementing innovative technologies to manage their records. This study utilised literature review to investigate the application of modern technologies in managing records in public libraries with the view to highlight how these technologies can revolutionise library practices. The study established that although public libraries acknowledge the importance of modern technologies such as blockchain, cloud computing and Internet of Things in managing their records, these technologies are being slowly adopted due to lack of information technology infrastructure, technical support, and knowledge and skills. Therefore, all these challenges made it difficult for librarians and information professionals to maximise the benefits of these technologies and they struggle to see how these technologies can be incorporated into their institutions. Public libraries thus need to better understand best practices for records management, which may go a long way in influencing library policy to support records-management processes. The study recommends that public libraries consider exploring collaborating with other sectors such as archival services to implement modern technologies for the purpose of managing records.
