The FRELIP main portal, at frelip.org, is the front door to everything — the single starting point that connects the discovery search, the research guides, the journal feeds, and these learning courses. Think of it as the welcome desk of a large free library: it points you to the right room for whatever you need.

FRELIP isn’t one website — it’s a small family of connected tools, each doing one job well. The portal is what ties them together into a single, free service for finding, understanding, and using knowledge. This whole course is a guided tour of that family, and the portal is where the tour begins.

What the portal connects

• Discovery search — to find books, articles, and resources.
• Research guides — expert starting points by subject.
• Journal feeds — the latest open-access research, gathered.
• Learning platform — free courses (like this one) to build your skills.

Why one connected platform matters

Plenty of places let you search, or learn, or read — but rarely all of them, joined up, and free. FRELIP’s value is that the pieces work together: find a source in search, learn to evaluate it in a course, follow the field through the feeds. The portal is the thread that makes it one journey rather than four separate errands.
