What is Forced Migration Online? http://www.forcedmigration.org
Forced Migration Online is a new web-based portal. Anyone connecting to it,
anywhere in the world, will have instant access to a wealth of material
relating to forced migration issues. By bringing together this collection
of useful and time-saving resources, its primary aim is to support and
facilitate the research and information-seeking process.
What does it include?
Resources offered include specially commissioned research guides; a digital
library of full-text documents; complete back runs of key journals; a
searchable web catalogue with descriptions of relevant web-based resources
and links to those resources; a directory with contact information for
relevant organizations; a news feed with regularly updated headlines; as
well as maps and images. The resources will be updated and added to
regularly.
Who is it for?
Forced Migration Online has been developed using the most up-to-date and
innovative technologies and is designed for use by academics, students,
researchers, librarians, practitioners, policy makers, the media,
information providers, forced migrants themselves or anyone interested in
the field of forced migration.
