Abstract

Although numerous articles and books offer advice on serving immigrant populations in public libraries, little research has been conducted which asks immigrants directly about their needs and experiences. This paper reports the results of three focus groups which took place with a total of 14 different individuals who moved to Canada in the past 10 years from countries in Asia, Central America, and Africa. Focus group discussions found that the participants appreciate the library system but were largely unaware of the range of library services available.

新移民对公共图书馆服务的看法和认识/新移民对公共图书馆服务的看法和认识

尽管有许多文章和书籍为公共图书馆的移民提供服务建议，但很少有研究直接询问移民的需求和经历。本文报告了三个焦点小组的结果，这些小组共有14个不同的人，他们在过去10年里从亚洲、中美洲和非洲国家移居加拿大。焦点小组讨论发现，与会者对图书馆系统表示赞赏，但大都不了解图书馆提供的服务范围。
