The FIL Journal Is Moving to a Blog
Change is in the air at the Forum for Interlending. As part of our ongoing efforts to keep pace with the needs of our members, we’re transitioning the FIL Journal to a blog format, hosted right here on our existing website.

Why the Switch?
Our reading habits have evolved. We’re consuming information on the go, from our phones, tablets, and laptops. The new blog format will make accessing FIL content smoother and more convenient, no matter where you are or what device you’re using.
But it’s not just about convenience. A blog also opens up new opportunities for dialogue. Imagine being able to share your thoughts on an article instantly, engage in discussions, or even pose questions directly to the author. This shift isn’t just about delivering content; it’s about fostering a real conversation within our community.
What’s in Store?
We’re still ironing out the details, but here’s a peek at what we’re considering:
• Subscription Alerts: Get notified as soon as new posts are up.
• Social Media Sharing: Share posts directly to your network, broadening the conversation.
• Surveys and Polls: Your feedback, in real-time, helping shape the future of FIL content.
• Curated Newsletters: A digest of recent posts for those who prefer their updates all in one place.
And don’t worry—the rich archive of our FIL Journal isn’t going anywhere. All past issues will remain available on the website, providing a valuable resource for anyone who needs to consult previous articles and insights.
What This Means for You
Rest assured, this transition will be smooth. The blog will live on our existing website, so you won’t need to navigate unfamiliar territory. We’re keeping things consistent to make sure you can continue to find what you need without any hassle.
But this isn’t just about us—it’s about you too. We’d love to hear what’s happening in your corner of the interlending world. Whether it’s a new initiative, a challenge you’ve faced, or a success story, your contributions can help shape the conversations on our new blog. This is your chance to be part of the change, to share your insights, and to connect with others in the community. So, if you’re interested in submitting a blog article, please do get in touch with us.
So, here’s to the next chapter for FIL—more accessible, more interactive, and hopefully, more engaging for all of us.
