Recommended Reading Lists

The Refugee Council recently created a web page with their recommendations for novels and biographies on the refugee experience. There are a number of web tools available that make it easy to set up personalized lists of recommended readings, whether they be for the general public, friends, work colleagues, or fellow researchers.

Amazon.com
- Online seller of books and many other products. Learn how to create a list of books that you find interesting and wish to share with other Amazon users. Here's one example: "Teaching Children about Refugees."

CiteULike.org
- Described as a free online service for helping you to organize your academic papers. It works like this: "When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal [CiteULike] library." You can add tags to each entry (see the articles that have been tagged "refugees") as well as build a bibliography.

Google Books
- Google's book search engine allows you to create your own library which you can share with friends and colleagues. Read the My Library FAQ to get started.

Worldcat.org
- A database of bibliographic records from library collections around the world. A sample reading list is provided on the home page, along with instructions on how to set up your own list.
