The next FIL event will be held online on Wednesday 12th February 2025. Details of how to book will be sent out nearer the time.
In order to make the program relevant we would like to give you the opportunity to present on topics that matter to you. Topics you might like to consider are:
- Obtaining Copyright cleared requests- how are you meeting this challenge?.
- Trends in ILL Demand: How has ILL changed in your library?
- Different Perspectives on an ILL service: We are really interested in hearing from different library services and how ILL works in different sectors. Whether you work in a public, NHS, academic, museum, prison or other specialist library why not take this opportunity to showcase the work you do.
- The savings challenge- have you made any changes? Is this impacting your service?
- Workflows and new technology– do you have anything to share?
Your presentation can be on any topic. It can be either a
- Lightening talk- these are usually brief overviews which are 10-15 minutes long. Ideal for first time presenters.
- Full presentation- these are typically 30-40 minutes long.
If you would like the opportunity to present at the event could you send a short outline to
Amanda Foster by no later than
Friday 24th January please?
