What am I searching?
The Digital Library is a unique online resource. It contains over 4,700 documents and journal issues, which can be searched, read online and printed as required. Searches are performed against the full-text of both documents and journal issues, and additionally against the metadata of the documents.
The documents include both recent and historical grey (unpublished) literature and research materials. The journals are back-issues of key journals in the field:
- Disasters
- Forced Migration Review
- International Journal Of Refugee Law
- International Migration Review
- Journal Of Refugee Studies
The journal issues available here are typically 3-5 years behind the most recently published issue. This is to comply with the copyright requirements of the publishers. In the case of Forced Migration Review, the latest issue is made available as soon as it is published.
