-"What is [[https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/faq/|Library Hub Discover]]?\\
+"[[https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/about/|Jisc Library Hub Discover ]]exposes rare and unique research material by bringing together the catalogues of [[https://discover.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/about/libraries/|major UK and Irish libraries]]. In a single search you can discover the holdings of the UK’s National Libraries (including the British Library), many university libraries, and specialist research libraries. This service replaces Copac and SUNCAT, providing access to a growing range of library catalogues, with a new interface style and updated search facilities, with more changes in the pipeline. Library Hub Discover is one of three services built on the Jisc National Bibliographic Knowledgebase, a growing collaboration with an increasing number of libraries contributing to the shared database, to benefit the academic and broader research community as well as local library activity and developments. The other services are:
-Library Hub Discover enables you to search the merged catalogues of UK national, university and specialist libraries; it is is an expansion and development of the previous Copac and SUNCAT services. Whilst aimed at the UK academic and research community, and information professionals, Library Hub Discover welcomes use from anyone who may find it of value. Library Hub Discover provides a more complete view of the UK distributed academic and research library collection than has previously been available. You can use Library Hub Discover as a resource discovery tool to help you find rare and unique research material, to verify bibliographic information and to compare library collections.
-How does the Library Hub Discover service relate to the Jisc National Bibiliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) project?\\
+  * Library Hub Compare: Collection analysis service for library staff in Jisc member libraries and other NBK contributors. For more information see [[https://compare.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/|Library Hub Compare]].
-The National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK) is the name for the aggregation of data being used to provide the Library Hub Discover, Compare, and Cataloguing services. This large data pool allows us to manage the flow of different subsets of data into each service and will support new service development in future".
+  * Library Hub Cataloguing: Shared cataloguing service for library staff in Jisc member libraries and other NBK contributors. \\ For information about Library Hub Cataloguing, including Terms of use, see [[https://cataloguing.libraryhub.jisc.ac.uk/about/|About Library Hub Cataloguing]]."

-“As part of delivering on the vision of a UK national digital library, Jisc and OCLC announce a partnership As part of delivering on the vision of a UK national digital library, Jisc and OCLC announce a partnership to build a new shared service that will aggregate academic bibliographic data at scale, improving library collection management and resource discovery for students and researchers.Jisc, the digital solutions provider for UK education and research, today announced that OCLC, the global library cooperative, has been awarded the contract to develop a new National Bibliographic Knowledgebase (NBK).\\
-The NBK, originally proposed in Jisc’s [[https://www.jisc.ac.uk/rd/projects/national-monograph-strategy|National Monograph Strategy]], will support the learning and research needs of the UK higher education community. The vision is to extend the capabilities of the current Copac service, by investing in technology that can ingest diverse library data at higher speed and greater volume. The new service will enable a shift in the way that libraries manage their print and digital collections and in the ways that people access those resources.

+By August 2016 all nine universities in Wales, together with the National Library of Wales and all National Health Service libraries in Wales, were using the same cloud-hosted library management system and discovery layer, Ex Libris/Clarivate Alma and Primo.The WHELF (Wales Higher Education Forum) Shared LMS project consists of eleven members:
+  * Aberystwyth University
+  * Bangor University
+  * Cardiff Metropolitan University
+  * Cardiff University, including Welsh NHS Libraries
+  * Glyndwr University
+  * National Library of Wales
+  * Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama
+  * Swansea University
+  * University of South Wales
+  * University of Wales Trinity Saint David
+These eleven institutions, spread across nearly ninety library locations, have around 600 library staff, 170,000 customers and approximately ten million bibliographic records.

-//"Scotland and Wales have started to undergo work to develop shared library IT systems across their higher education institutions thanks to initial fundin////g and support from Jisc.Ultimately, this will provide students access to information hosted at all institutions, opening up a wealth of teaching and learning materials. There will also be cost saving opportunities.// \\  \\ //Higher education institutions in Wales are currently joining with the National Library of Wales to start development of a joint procurement process for a shared library management system. The shared system will open up potential opportunities for collaboration on other levels – including the possibility of reciprocal borrowing across the libraries and shared cataloguing of collections. They are looking to have these systems in place by summer 2015 – 2016 and a tender for the work will be going out in the New Year.// \\  \\ //The first phase of the Scottish project, The Benefits of Sharing, has shown the benefits that a shared national IT support system could offer higher education and possibly further education institutional libraries. The key benefits include://
+**[[https://whelf.ac.uk/the-whelf-interlending-scheme/|Whelf Interlending Scheme** ]]**: "In January 2018, WHELF members came together to launch a scheme of free, reciprocal, inter-library borrowing. This was made possible by our shared use of the Ex-Libris Alma Library Management System, which allows us to use core system functionality to lend print and digital resources to each other, free of charge. The scheme has been an amazing success, in 2022 the member libraries saved over £44K in total. As well as the undoubted financial benefit, it has also led to much greater co-operation and knowledge sharing between participating institutions.The scheme proved so successful, that in 2021, with the backing of Ex-Libris and the British Library, we began rolling out membership to non-WHELF institutions (hence the ‘+’ in ‘WHELF+’!). There are now nearly twenty institutions, covering a good geographical spread and a wide range of teaching and research specialities, reaping the benefits of WHELF+ membership; and, with more institutions expressing an interest in joining, and the potential of using new Alma functionality to automate processes further, the scheme has a bright future."
