PROJECT SCOPE
Improving Library Partnerships with Immigrant Communities

LINA launched in 2021 with financial support from the Institute of Museum and Library Studies (IMLS), Grant RE-250026-OLS-21, August 1, 2021 – July 31, 2024.

LINA is aimed at reframing how librarians approach immigrants’ information behavior by
✔ exploring immigrants’ information pressures in an increasingly complex U.S. immigration environment
✔ distilling community-centered recommendations and assets for effective library engagement with communities
The purpose is to advance LIS knowledge of immigrant well-being and increase the capacity for libraries to serve as trusted spaces.
