Welcome to the new WHELF blog!

The Wales Higher Education Libraries Forum (WHELF) is a grouping of Chief Librarians and Directors of Information Services drawn from all the higher education institutions in Wales.

The purpose of WHELF is to promote library and information services co-operation, to encourage the exchange of ideas, to provide a forum for mutual support and to help facilitate new initiatives in library and information service provision.

We hope that the blog will complement existing sources of information such as our website and our various JISCmail lists, and encourage the sharing of good ideas between WHELF member libraries.

Most of the postings you’ll see on this blog are going to be from me, Sue Mace, in my role as Development Officer for WHELF, but I am happy to report on any news of interest to Welsh HE libraries!
