About Information Resources for the Homeless
The Information Resources for the Homeless website was created and designed by the researcher to satisfy
the information needs of the homeless, homeless advocates and librarians. This evaluation project aims to determine which
online resources are most helpful – and most hope-inspiring -- in empowering the homeless. The resource site was created
for this study to make lifelong learning possible for the homeless. A review of the literature on library services to the
homeless from the perspective of the homeless patron and of the librarian is included. The causes of homelessness, sources
of hope and diversity, getting the homeless off the streets, the homeless and the internet, and communication with the homeless
are all important issues that can be addressed by library resources.
