    Hey all,

    I’m considering a few alternatives for my subject community. The ones I’m most interested in currently are 1) Clergy and 2) Recent refugees in the SF Bay Area. #1 will need refinement, but there seems to be a decent literature base and some articles with helpful calls for further research. #2 is maybe more interesting to me, but I have just barely begun looking for sources, and I’m a little concerned that data may be sparse, especially for recent waves of Afghan refugees in the Bay Area.

      @tlueders I think you will find more LIS research on refugees than clergy. I recall one or two papers on info behaviors of pastors. The LIS literature on refugees of all kinds feels more robust. Might be worth some plenary searches. You can use studies on the info behaviors of refugees in general and apply them to your locally focused choice.
