OCLC, the non-profit computer library service and research organisation, has announced that the University of KwaZulu-Natal, a leading South African university, is now using OCLC WorldShare Management Services as its library management system.
WorldShare Management Services (WMS) provide cloud-based library management and discovery applications in an integrated suite. WMS offers librarians a cost-effective way to manage workflows efficiently, and improve access to library collections and services for their users.
OCLC works in conjunction with its local partner, Sabinet, in the African region. Sabinet provided implementation support and training for the University of KwaZulu-Natal and will be providing ongoing support for WMS in Africa.
More than 300 libraries on four continents—Africa, Australia, Europe and North America—are currently using OCLC WorldShare Management Services to gain efficiencies and improve usability in library services and end-user discovery.
