Mobile Libraries & Information Needs in Refugee Camps

- Author(s) / Creator(s)

In this presentation, we discuss some of the information needs that refugees experience in refugee camps, based on a literature review. We aim to identify both the ways that refugees are meeting these information needs, as well as services that might partner with refugees in order to improve access to information. We specifically focus on how mobile libraries can be, and are being, utilized in this area. Our presentation is informed by a post-colonial theoretical perspective and a mentality that recognizes the importance of global citizenship, universal access to information, relational empathy, and the ethical obligation of libraries to consider library services globally.
