Thank you to all the speakers, delegates, WHELF Events group and Jisc Wales @jisc.bsky.social
I have obviously forgotten something I learned during online events in the pandemic - if you don't buy cake/biscuits, you have nothing nice to have during the breaks😡
Managing desk rotas / change @uwtsdlib.bsky.social
Sam Brinkworth and Alison Scanlon from UWTSD libraries on changing the way they set up rotas, in the face of no budget for new software and some reluctance to change.
Our next talk is from @aberuni.bsky.social library colleagues, Amy Staniforth and Jonathan Davies on ‘Starting over’: a re-cataloguing project which Aberystwyth have undertaken, including theses and dissertations.
After a quick break (sadly no conference coffee and cake online) we have Nicola Jones from @cardiffunilib.bsky.social talking about print/eBook acquisition and their Customer Insights project.
@ebscouk.bsky.social's Orla McNally is speaking now about how EBSCO have supported libraries and continue to do so through their products and services. WHELF would like to thank EBSCO for their sponsorship today.
Now we have Andrea and Bethan from
@swanseauni.bsky.social
library, talking about the 'ChatterBooks’ student engagement project and how this links with the university's Core Values.
Logos of the WHELF institutions
Tracey Stanley and Judith Dray, current WHELF Chair and Vice-Chair are talking about WHELF and how we are 'Stronger Together'
And we are underway! @whelfed.bsky.social WHELF Colloquium 2025 starts with @alisonharding.bsky.social reading a Mary Oliver poem "Don't Hesitate"

Diolch i/thanks to Jenny McNally & Nicky Atkins.
Lindsay notes that the AI tools they have trialled can support academics and students by helping find information - but they still need to read the articles and extract the relevant facts!
