The Forum for Interlending and Information Delivery plays an active part in the national scene for Interlending and document delivery. FIL brings together staff working in a wide range of libraries and represents a broad cross-section of views.

Membership of FIL is open to anyone involved in ILL and document supply.

The Forum's activities include regional one-day events, exchange of experience workshops, a regular newsletter and publications on matters relating to document supply and interlending.

"Keeping It Simple: support, development, practicalities"

Interlend 2009, the annual conference of the Forum for Interlending and Information Delivery is to be held from 29th June - 1st July 2009 at the Lancaster House Hotel.

Interlend 2009 will address key issues that are important to anyone working in interlending and document supply in the UK. The Conference programme is designed to appeal to residential delegates and to day delegates, and will feature a mix of presentations and break out sessions, with plenty of opportunity to network with colleagues and to share ideas. There will be topics of interest to public, academic and specialist library delegates.

Our speakers will include Terry Kendrick, who, after a career in public libraries moved to become an information and marketing planning consultant. Terry teaches consultancy, information and Internet skills and is a regular CILIP Course Leader. He will provide a formal presentation and break out sessions on Internet Search Techniques.

Once again, the venue offers comfortable onsite accommodation, with the added bonus of close proximity to Lancaster's historic City.

Bookings are now open!
