Refugees are being empowered by their access to and use of information, enabled by information communication services and technologies and public libraries. Drawing on the work of various LIS scholars and recent media coverage and reports, this article presents a detailed literature review on the intersections of refugees, human rights, information, and public libraries to help consolidate and condense the research on these interrelated subjects. It examines the critical roles played by information in refugees’ lives, including how information communication technologies, services, and public libraries help facilitate refugees’ human right to information and, by extension, assist them in adapting to and better understanding unfamiliar information landscapes, building information and personal resilience, forging social trust, and transitioning into new communities. It is hoped this article can contribute to continued collective attention and coordinated collaboration to help address and alleviate this current refugee crisis.

信息对难民的重要性:信息技术,公共图书馆和当前的难民危机

信息交流服务和技术以及公共图书馆使难民能够访问和使用信息,从而为其赋权。借助各种LIS学者的工作以及最近的媒体报道和报道,本文对难民,人权,信息和公共图书馆的交汇处进行了详细的文献综述,以帮助巩固和浓缩对这些相互关联的主题的研究。它研究了信息在难民生活中所起的关键作用,包括信息通信技术,服务和公共图书馆如何帮助促进难民的知情权,并进而帮助他们适应和更好地理解不熟悉的信息格局,信息和个人应变能力,建立社会信任,并过渡到新社区。希望本文能继续引起集体关注和协调合作,以帮助解决和减轻当前的难民危机。
