While immigrants and international students' information behavior and practices are known, less is understood of their online information sharing, associated use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), and the roles of these technologies in their settlement. We conducted semi‐structured interviews with 20 international students to help fill this gap. We find international students' ICT use and information sharing shares similarities and differences with other students and immigrants; a set of settlement barriers and helps associated with ICTs; and clear roles for ICTs in supporting the informational, social, and emotional needs of international students. Transferable findings fill existing gaps in our knowledge of international student immigrants' use of ICTs and online information sharing; can inform LIS research and practice in facilitating their successful settlement through informational, sociotechnical, and emotional lenses; and encourage further work to confirm and expand on our findings.

or Résumé:The intersection between Indigenous allyship, intellectual freedom, and social responsibility is understudied in LIS literature. This conceptual paper employs literature-based critical analysis to explore the tension between these concepts and forwards the theoretical basis for a new interdisciplinary model for ethical information practice. The model draws on foundational aspects of human rights scholarship, human resources literature, philosophy, and uncertainty as a critical tradition for librarianship.
