As you may be aware, FreePint is now publishing tips and feature articles through FUMSI (http://www.fumsi.com/), which stands for Find, Use, Manage and Share Information. We invite you to explore the article database at http://web.fumsi.com/go/article/, view the first issue of the FUMSI Magazine at http://web.fumsi.com/go/magazine/, and contact our editorial team with your suggestions for articles you would like to contribute.

FUMSI articles are promoted to the entire FreePint subscriber base. The new features we’ve built into the system enable users to email articles to colleagues, giving your useful contributions an even wider audience.

Contributing to FUMSI is a great way to:

* Promote your particular area of expertise
* Participate in a global conversation about information work
* Get feedback on an idea to refine it through the editorial and
publishing process
* Share best practices and lessons learned

If you have an idea for an article or any questions about FUMSI articles, please contact our Senior Managing Editor, Sara Waddington, at sara.waddington@freepint.com.
