Why Submit an Article?
Writing for FIL isn’t just about getting published; it’s about connecting with others in the field and contributing to a community that thrives on shared knowledge. When you share your story, you help your peers find inspiration and solutions—and you might even discover new ideas yourself. It’s also a brilliant way to showcase the unique work happening in your library.
What Should You Write About?
Your article could focus on practical challenges, emerging trends, or future opportunities. Have you come up with creative solutions for tricky requests? Is data helping you refine workflows or predict demand? Perhaps your service is adapting to meet budget constraints, or you’re preparing for the future with new technology. Whatever you’ve learned, there’s someone else in the FIL community who could benefit.
We’re especially interested in hearing from libraries of all kinds—academic, public, NHS, museum, or specialist. How does interlending look in your sector? What makes your service stand out? This is a chance to showcase your work and celebrate the diversity of our interlending community.
How to Get Involved
Sharing your story strengthens the FIL community, inspires others, and highlights the vital role interlending plays in connecting people with information. If you’re ready to contribute, just contact us to start the conversation.
