Join experts John Dalling and Mark Hughes as they discuss the collaborative efforts in optimizing library resources through the Consortium purchase of Voyager LMS during the SWWHEP Project. This initiative emphasizes the importance of shared expertise and resources across Welsh higher education institutions. We’ll explore the project's structure, governance, and the steps taken to meet the challenges of modern academic libraries. With insights from feasibility studies and scoping exercises, discover how collaboration can enhance learning resources and support 10 million bibliographic records.
