always showed me the way in a manner that broadened my knowledge horizon. I am truly grateful to each and every member of this committee.I am grateful to Dr. Douglas Nevin Raber, who was my mentor and guide at the initial stages of my doctoral program.Learning is never a solo effort, it is teamwork. Without my fellow doctoral students in SISLT, with whom we spent a lot of time consulting and charting the way forward in our studies, we could have never made it this far. Thanks go to Dr.

Refugees and asylum seekers are very much in the news today, and libraries work to identify information resources, services, skills, training and/or research in order to support the resettlement and integration of these groups. ALA has passed resolutions and gathered information about how libraries respond to and empower immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Public libraries have often been leaders in these activities providing library cards; computers with Internet access; free wifi; books, movies, and materials in a number of languages; English classes; electronic resources; programs on topics, such as job searching; and library staff to assist with questions.
