demands of other libraries.
Jenny Raubenheimer will talk about a South African perspective on inter-library loan and Katie Birch will

H: WorldShare Platform and APIs
Facilitated by: Roger Grossmann
Speaker: Cornelius Parkin
OCLC’s WorldShare Platform provides flexible, open access to library data through Application Programming
Interfaces. Libraries use Platform services to streamline library management workflows and to improve the
service offerings. Partners use Platform services to connect to the WorldShare Network in order to build new
offerings for libraries and patrons. The presentation will demonstrate examples how libraries and partners
make beneficial use of OCLC's WorldShare Platform services. Technically, the WorldShare Platform is a
global, interconnected Web architecture that leverages collective data collections and WorldShare
Management application data and processes. OCLC has established a global infrastructure network in order
to make Platform services available worldwide. A high level view of the WorldShare Platform architecture
and used technologies will be outlined in the presentation.

Plenary Session 2: South African Libraries Spotlight
Chair: Ellen Tise, Senior Director, Library and Information Services, Stellenbosch University
The EMEA Regional Council invited South African librarians to submit their proposals for a lightning talk on the theme: "If you want to go
fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together". We wanted to hear about projects or programs in the South African library community
that reflected the idea that we can achieve more when we act in unison, than when we act alone as individual institutions. This session
will unveil the best stories of collaboration from the region and we will be rewarding the talk voted by the audience, as the most engaging
with a prize.
