Happy New Year to you all and hopefully by now you will have received your copy of the new look FIL Journal - previously FIL Newsletter.
We have a new front cover and new layout for articles, we are hoping that you like the new format and please do let us know if you do....or don't!
We always welcome your feedback on the journal and more importantly for me, I do welcome your articles. As I've said many times and I'm sure I will say again, the journal can only be produced if we receive articles and I can't keep relying on the committee to write them all the time. Partly because it's not fair on them to have to keep coming up with subjects to write about but also you as a reader of the journal are going to get fed up seeing articles from the same people.
So come on, all you budding authors out there set pen to paper - well okay, fingers to keyboard and let us have your thoughts, views, news on interlending where you are. Have you got a new system in place, tackled a particularly difficult search with good or bad results, do you have hints and tips for searching that you are willing to share with others or just let us know what you get up to on a day to day basis in your department. We also love to receive reports of FIL events you have attended, either the FIL@BL London, the FIL@BLDSC event or the annual FIL Conference or any ILL related event.
We are happy to receive any length article and if you can supply photographs too, that would be an added bonus. One thing we do ask is for a head and shoulders shot of the author, just so the readership can put a face to a name...or article.
The next Journal is due to be produced March/April but that is dependent on receiving enough articles to fill the journal, so there is no pressure on submitting for the next edition, if you miss the deadline then the article can appear in the following journal.
Please send you articles to tracey.jackson@hertfordshire.gov.uk with photo's attached and I will get back to you to let you know when we hope to publish your article. I will now sit back and happily await all your excellent articles to come flooding into my inbox - happy writing!
