Each issue of College & Research Libraries News includes an Internet Resources feature, which is a collection of web sites on a particular topic. This month's (Feb. 2006) focuses on "disaster relief." Other topics relevant to forced migration have included human rights (Sept. 1999 - by yours truly) and refugees (Sept. 1998).
This type of resource is always helpful for providing an introduction to a topic and a sampling of the range of information that is available online. Unfortunately, the ever-fluctuating nature of the web means that these bibliographies can quickly become out of date, as evidenced by the latter two mentioned above.
I have compiled several web bibliographies that I try to update at least on an annual basis:
- Guide to Forced Migration Resources on the Web (last update June 2005)
- Guide to International Refugee Law Resources on the Web (last update Feb. 2005)
The first guide is on the Forced Migration Online (FMO) site. See also their research guides; each always includes a listing of web-based resources that relate to the theme/country focus of the guide.
The latter guide was published by LLRX.com, which is a great place to check for research guides on a wide range of legal topics.
