June 2010 newsletter
Forced Migration Online is pleased to announce the publication of its first newsletter. This issue presents highlights from the new resources added to the FMO website in 2010.

If you would like to receive future FMO newsletters, please subscribe to our mailing list. You can also receive notifications as an RSS feed.

The newsletter has been designed so that it can be easily posted up on notice boards, and would encourage you to print out copies if you think that others in your organization would find Forced Migration Online useful.

In addition to highlighting recent updates, the newsletter gives details of how users can contribute resources to the site. For those of you who are not familiar with Forced Migration Online, there is also a brief outline of the various resources we provide, including:

  • Over 5,000 full-text documents, available to download for free

Forced Migration Discussion List

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

The Forced Migration Discussion List (also known as the FMList) is an email-based community, moderated by staff at Forced Migration Online. It provides regular updates on major news, publications and events relating to forced migration.

Posts to the Forced Migration Discussion List will often include information about relevant funding opportunities, job vacancies and new research projects. Subscribers to the List also have access to an invaluable community of experts in the field of forced migration, and may occasionally use the List to request specific information on issues relevant to forced migration.

Messages sent to the Forced Migration Discussion List are moderated and so we have recently published a set of posting guidelines to help users who wish to post a message to the List. Users who regularly post messages to the List may wish to take a moment to read through them.

For more information, or to subscribe, please visit the FMList page on Forced Migration Online.
