1. Integrating Immigrants into the US LIS Profession: Findings from a Pilot Collaborative Project

Author

Ndumu, Ana, Villagran, Michele A. L., Sandoval-Sall, Vilma, Grunberg, Kirsten, Tadena, Laura, Santillan, Roman, and Bromir, N. Yasmin

Abstract

Immigrants are essential library constituents. This article presents the outcomes of a pilot, self-paced mini-course to introduce US immigrants to the library and information science (LIS) field. Data from student assessment and focus groups suggest that, with curricular and design improvements, the mini-course can help recruit skilled or degreed immigrants to the LIS profession. The Careers in Libraries for Immigrants project can serve as a model for justice-oriented partnerships among community members, educators, and professionals.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore connections between immigrant information behaviour and concepts of information poverty. The researchers used the scoping method to examine the immigrant populations, operational definitions, and research methods associated with information poverty. Key findings from this systematic review suggest an overreliance on non‐empirical linkages to information poverty and the need for substantiated knowledge that captures specific immigrant contexts, vulnerabilities, and interventions.
