technologies and providing shared solutions. Leadbeater will look at the future of libraries and knowledge sharing in the context of these challenges and the need for frugal innovation, arguing that many of the principles that libraries stand for - simple, open, shared use of recycled material, will be even more important in the years to come. 10:40-11:10 Meeting the innovation challenge…cooperatively Skip Prichard, OCLC CEO and President The OCLC cooperative has been a model of frugal innovation since its inception more than four decades ago. Working together, librarians have built the world’s largest database of cultural heritage holdings in a costeffective, efficient manner. This history is impressive, but what of the future? Skip will look at OCLC in Charles’s context: what else can we do cooperatively as a library community to improve our service? What is OCLC’s role in engendering even greater efficiencies in furthering access to the world’s information? Given the complexities of the environments in which we operate, how can we work together to create and implement lean, simple, and social tools that will enable our users to be successful in their endeavours? Skip believes that the library community is ready and eager to face the innovation challenge. 11:10-11:30 Discussion 11:30-12:00 Refreshment Break Breakout Talks 1 12:00-13:00 Main Plenary Room 12:00-13:00 Breakout Rooms A: Passionate Communication and Modern Library Marketing: Community Options to Reach New and Current Users Facilitated by: Norbert Weinberger and Elisabeth Denk Speakers: Barbara Lison and Ton van Vlimmeren How can public libraries reach actual and potential library users with more impact? Which service of the library do people want and how do they want to be addressed? How can the library community be involved and support their individual Public Library? Based on the US community campaign Geek the Library for Public Libraries the library associations and library experts are carrying out pilot tests in Europe. The German speaking countries have set up a pilot test in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with the campaign BiblioFreak fom July 2013 to January 2014. As a basis for this pilot the market needs had been analyzed and defined. First hand experiences of all institutions involved, such as the participating public libraries, ekz.bibliotheksservice GmbH (German library supplier company), the respective national library associations dbv (D), BVÖ (A) and other institutions will be presented. The G4 libraries in the Netherlands (Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht) and OCLC are working on a pilot project with a Dutch version of the original slogan ‘Geek de Bibliotheek.’ Campaign launch is planned for the end of October until December. Additional funding to finance a multi media campaign has been acquired. The pilot will be evaluated early 2014. Pilot results will be transferred to the Public Library Branch for a national roll out of the campaign. In this Breakout Talk Barbara Lison, Ton van Vlimmeren, Elisabeth Denk and Norbert Weinberger will share and discuss the outcome and lessons learned from this campaign. B: Growing WorldCat: What the Global Community Wants Facilitated by: Ted Fons Speaker: Jos Damen, Susan Murray The most prolific example of library collaboration globally is the development of the world’s largest collection of library data, WorldCat. This session will explore future development of WorldCat. We will look at the ongoing effort to diversify the international content and collection types represented in this global resource. Emphasis will be on how the growth in global resources supports library workflows and helping libraries manage the cost of metadata, resource sharing, and discovery services. Jos Damen (African Studies Centre, Leiden) and Susan Murray (African Journals Online, AJOL) will talk about the continuing importance of metadata and abstracts for African journal articles, and of the availability of scientific publications on and from Africa. The population of Africa tripled in the last 50 years, and is expected to more than double again by 2050. Moreover, Africa’s population is young and eager to get relevant information, either online or on paper. Some African governments (Ethiopia, Rwanda, South Africa) are heavily investing in education, but as a rule, the region’s library and information sector, including journal publishing, continues to be inadequately supported and resourced. The importance of good and inter-linked scholarly publication platforms with quality metadata for discoverability and accessibility to full text is paramount. Some statistics and insights on this drawn from recent research into the State of Scholarly Publishing in Africa will be shared.
12:00-13:00 Breakout Rooms 12:00-13:00 C: OCLC WorldShare Management Services - Update Facilitated by: Axel Kaschte Speakers: Emma Sansby, Pierre Malan We are pleased to observe that the adoption of Worldshare Management Services is steadily growing around the globe, the aim of this session is to provide a progress report on rollout with a special focus on Academic libraries and EMEA. Our Product Strategy Director Axel Kaschte will get us up to speed on the latest developments. We would also like to share one of the most recent experiences in implementation with a presentation from Bishop Grosseteste University, UK and include an update from our distributor Sabinet on roll out in South Africa. All are most welcome to attend the session and we encourage questions to make it lively and interactive. D: Linked Data Exposed Facilitator and Speaker: Richard Wallis Breakout Rooms Want to know a bit more about Linked Data; how it is being exposed through WorldCat; its place underpinning the global graph of knowledge; and how it can help libraries guide users to their resources? Join OCLC Technology Evangelist, and chair of the W3C Schema Bib Extend Community, Richard Wallis as he explores Linked Data from first principles, to the way it will shape our future. Richard is expecting questions in this interactive session. So if there is something you have been wanting to ask on the topic, this is your chance. 13:00-14:00 Buffet Lunch, networking and exhibition including BIBLIONEF's 'Bringing Books to the Bookless' stand. Breakout Talks 2 14:00-15:00 Main Plenary Room 14:00-15:00 Breakout Rooms 14:00-15:00 Breakout Rooms E: We Built a Community! Facilitated by: Fiona Leslie Speakers: Stephanie Diakité, Dr. Buhle Mbambo-Thata, Naomi House The concept of community is based on how people gather around shared interests or location to give and take mutually. Community-building must give value back to those who participate, or they are not sustainable. In the world of libraries, scarce resources and an ethos of sharing, means that communitybuilding offers a credible way to solve problems and further public goals. This session will explore some real examples of community-building in the world of libraries. First of all, Stephanie will tell us about T160K (the Timbuktu Manuscripts Knowledge for Peace Initiative), an 'Indiegogo' crowd-sourcing campaign that reached out to a global community. Dr. Mbambo-Thata in her role as Library Director of UNISA will talk about their unique collaboration with public libraries, especially with local city public library services in Tshwane. This partnership, in addition to improving outreach to students in the Tshwane area also provides career professional development for those employed by the libraries involved. Reciprocal benefit is a vital ingredient for any community-building activity. F: OCLC Research – Innovation through cooperation Facilitator and Speaker: Titia van der Werf How does innovation work in the context of OCLC? Titia van der Werf will explain the innovation process with a variety of examples which illustrate how innovation, research and partnership go hand in hand. The examples will also give a bird’s eye view of the innovation areas in which libraries currently invest heavily. The talk will demonstrate that innovation requires collaboration beyond organisational boundaries and intensive interactions between the various players in the innovation chain (funders, academia, service providers, IT-industry, etc.). G: WorldShare Interlibrary Loan - moving on with fulfillment Facilitated by: TBC Speakers: Poul Erlandsen, Jenny Raubenheimer OCLC WorldShare Interlibrary Loan fully replaces WorldCat Resource Sharing in May 2014. The service centralises workflows now managed in multiple systems and will provide new functionality that speeds fulfilment of interlibrary loan requests and saves time for library staff and library users. The migration from WorldCat Resource Sharing to WorldShare Interlibrary Loan transforms traditional interlibrary loan into a much broader fulfilment service with associated workflows. In the new service, interlibrary loan will be one of any number of fulfilment options a library may select according to the needs of its users and library policies. Find out how you can take advantage of improvements to ILL and wider fulfilment workflows by joining this session.
