Mynychodd y tîm gollocwiwm @whelfed.bsky.social ddoe ar 'Canfod Llonyddwch yn yr Anhrefn'. Diddorol iawn clywed gan gydweithwyr ar draws y sector llyfrgell am yr heriau a'r newidiadau sy'n cael eu hwynebu, a phrosiectau ymgysylltu â myfyrwyr, catalogio, ac adborth cwsmeriaid! whelf.ac.uk/cy/

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.

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.

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.

@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.

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.

And we are underway! @whelfed.bsky.social WHELF Colloquium 2025 starts with @alisonharding.bsky.social reading a Mary Oliver poem "Don't Hesitate"

Tracey Stanley and Judith Dray, current WHELF Chair and Vice-Chair are talking about WHELF and how we are 'Stronger Together'
