“Die nuwe platvorm self, is regtig baie gebruikers vriendelik. Ons geniet die feit dat al ons werk nou slegs op een

sisteem is en ook dat dit so maklik is om tussen die internasionale en nasionale instansies te onderskei.”

-Wilna Stavast North West University-

“Taking South African libraries to the world – and taking

libraries worldwide to South Africa to benefit us.”

-Luke Ngubane Technical Library-
