- Description: Warehouse-scale computing supports cloud-based services such as shared disk space, computation services and social networks. Although warehouse-scale computing is inexpensive per user, the cost to entry is high, and the pressures to generate revenues to cover costs leads service providers to pursue monetizing services aggressively. In this paper, we explore some ideas for removing the need for central servers by exploiting peer-to-peer technologies.

- Description: Program Management Module was implemented after a year that Sierra was introduced in the SEALS libraries. Rhodes University had no online system for booking group study rooms. Students were queuing early in the morning outside the library so that they can sign up on a paper form for room booking. Aspects of implementation were discussed including the creation of user guidelines, training of library staff, and publicity for the booking system. Procedures were developed and made available on RUConnected and on the library webpage. , Paper delivered at the IUG-SA Conference, 19-21 November 2014.
