I am currently undertaking some research into a local library's refugee collection, mainly concentrating upon their Albanian and Kurdish collections. My main questions are: 1. Are libraries using/promoting electronic resources to supplement their paper collections? ie. newspapers etc. If so, are there any sites which you would recommend? 2. What resources are most in demand? I would be grateful for any information or help that you could give me regarding these questions or any other pointers that you could give me. Many thanks, Catherine Howard
