Dear List Members,
I wanted to let you know about a service that alerts readers to new or newly
discovered information resources in the field of forced migration. It's
called the Forced Migration Current Awareness Blog (FM-CAB) and it's located
at http://fm-cab.blogspot.com/. The service is delivered in a weblog format,
allowing readers (1) to peruse announcements as they are posted on the main
page, (2) to browse titles of messages under the "Previous" sub-heading
located in the sidebar on the right, or (3) to read back through older
postings under the "Archives" sub-heading, also located in the sidebar.
Postings are also organized by category, so readers only interested in "Events
& Opportunities," "Periodicals," "Publications," or "Web Sites/Tools," may
consult the relevant section.
If you would like to add the Atom feed for this blog to your newsreader, copy
the shortcut from the "Site Feed" link listed under "Links" in the sidebar.
If you don't know anything about weblogs, newsreaders and newsfeeds, you might
be interested in these articles:

For those list members who prefer aggregated lists of resources, I will be
compiling references posted on the blog into weekly or bi-weekly "Web
Information Updates" and circulating them on the Forced Migration Discussion
List.
Hope you find this resource useful,
Elisa Mason
Information Specialist
