14:00-15:00 Breakout Rooms You will also hear Poul Erlandsen (Head of Department Royal Library Denmark), Jenny Raubenheimer (Director of Information Resources Distribution, UNISA), and Katie Birch (Portfolio Director, Delivery Services, OCLC) discuss how the traditional Interlibrary Loan service is evolving in to a just-in-time, on demand service to meet the needs of your end users. Hear how Poul makes best use of the OCLC library network to fulfil demand from his users, and meet the demands of other libraries. Jenny Raubenheimer will talk about a South African perspective on inter-library loan and Katie Birch will discuss how ILL is changing and how OCLC is shaping applications to handle these changes. 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. 14:45-15:15 Refreshments Available 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. 15:15-15:25 Lightning Talk One Anne-Lise Fourie, Biodiversity Heritage Library Africa 15:25-15:35 Lightning Talk Two Nazeem Hardy, City of Cape Town Library & Information Services Department 15:35-15:45 Lightning Talk Three Denyse Knipe,Tshwane University of Technology 15:45-15:55 Lightning Talk Four Mpho Regina Masienyane, Lintle Community Awakening (Lintle) 15:55-16:10 Voting for best Lightning Talk 16:10-16:40 The Role of National Libraries in Collaboration: National, Regional and Global Perspective John Tsebe, National Library of South Africa The importance of collaboration and partnerships will be presented from a National Library perspective.

J: 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.). K: Library Consortia in EMEA Facilitated by: Dénelise L'Ecluse Speakers: Bas Savenije, Laila Vahed, Jeff Gima The spirit of collaboration in Europe, Middle East and Africa is strong, and never more so than within the library community where there are so many challenges that can better be addressed by organised consortia. The importance of consortia both regionally, nationally and internationally will be discussed in this session. We will explore how library consortia are evolving to meet new challenges in their environment and what models for collaboration with OCLC they would like to see emerge. Bas Savenije is Director of the National Library in Amsterdam and a member of the UKB. The UKB is a consortium of thirteen academic libraries in the Netherlands and the National Library. Together they forged a close partnership based on their shared national infrastructure for cataloguing, discovery and ILL. In 2013, the UKB decided to migrate this national infrastructure to the global WorldShare platform. Mr Savenije will
