Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present the different views of how cloud computing is being adopted as a service in the field of Information Science, and the varied services being provided by the Cloud.

Methodology: An online survey was carried out to look for cloud services and its level of penetration in the field of information science as a services provider. Also previous work on the same topic by various researchers was also taken into account as they provided the required impetus for the research process.

Findings: The study assesses the cloud computing and the use of its services in the field of Information Science, along with few relevant examples of large scale cloud computing services.

Research Implications: The finding can be used by the professionals to get basic understanding of the cloud computing and its services for information storage and dissemination.
