Up to five individuals are selected each year for participation in this intensive four-week fellowship program based at OCLC’s headquarters in Dublin, Ohio, USA. The program gives fellows opportunities to meet with leading information practitioners and explore topics including information technologies, library operations and management, and global cooperative librarianship.

The fellows visit many libraries, cultural heritage institutions and library organizations.
