Welcome to WHELF

WHELF (Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum) is a collaborative group of all the University and Higher Education libraries in Wales, together with the National Library of Wales.

WHELF had its origins in the regular but informal meetings of University of Wales Chief Librarians which were held in the 1980s, and in 1990 this was named the University of Wales Co-ordinating Committee for Libraries. In 1993 the membership of the Committee was extended to include the Chief Librarians of all Higher Education institutions in Wales. In order to reflect the changed role of the group it was reconstituted as the Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum. It is chaired by the Librarian of the National Library of Wales and its members include Directors of Information Services and Heads of Library Services.
