You can use the guide in two ways. First, read through the chapters just like you would a regular text. Part one begins with an introduction to the concept of “forced migration” that includes a review of forced migration categories, their legal or policy bases, the principal assistance organizations, and the academic perspective on forced migration definitions. The second part of the guide presents a basic framework for conducting forced migration research both in libraries and on the Internet. It introduces key search concepts and principles to consider in any research undertaking, then describes resources that can be used 1) as starting points for research, 2) to help expand research, and 3) to support research. Part three highlights key information sources in forced migration, such as scholarly journals, reports and books, and discusses strategies for finding additional research literature through databases, library catalogues, search engines, and people.
Second, access the information resources described in the guide either by:
- type of source (e.g., bibliographies, periodicals, glossaries, etc.);
- specific index term (e.g., climate, culture, refugee impact, etc.);
- broad subject category (e.g., asylum/legal protection, mental health, etc.);
- region (if applicable);
- language (if applicable); OR
- using the search function (for example, search on an author or a keyword that is not included as an index term or subject category).
Hope you find the guide useful!
