Recognizing the importance of resource sharing, the libraries of several Jesuit higher education institutions, including Xavier University, have come together to establish the Jesuit Higher Education Library Consortium (JHELCon).

Besides XU, members of the JHELCon include Ateneo de Davao University, Ateneo de Manila University, Ateneo de Naga University, Ateneo de Zamboanga University, Loyola School of Theology, Loyola College of Culion and St John Vianney Theological Seminary.

Part of the goals of JEHLCon is the sharing of resources through document delivery services and interlibrary loans within the provisions of copyright and fair use. The consortium also aims to produce a union web catalog for all its holdings, establish reciprocal access to facilities, hold training and development for library staff and share best practices.
