Online Resource For ImmigrantsBut so much more can be done..."New Immigrants – These individuals are highly motivated to acquire the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in their new homeland. Many use communication devices and media to stay connected with family and their countries of origin. But they also may use media and technology as a “window on the world” to develop language skills and to understand American culture and values without appreciating the unique characteristics of the American commercial media system, which differs in fundamental ways from those of many other countries."-The Knight Commission on the Information Needs of Communities in a DemocracyThe Basics:LanguagesSchaumburg CitizenshipQueensLiteracySeattle

Then you see that there are many different thoughts and habits, just as there are many kinds of people. This makes it challenging to design services, but also interesting.” -Mika Sihvonen, senior academic assistant at the Department of Information Studies and Interactive Media ( AKTIIVI Project) Finland

Next Steps...More work with Reforma

Connectivity is key--Libraries helping immigrants to create blogs and other social networking accounts to connect with family around the world.

Establish partnerships w/ media outlets, esp foreign language media.

…seeks to enrich the community by providing adults with opportunities to discover new purpose through access to a wide range of learning programs, encore work options and volunteer participation. The program targets people 50+, but is open to adults of all ages. …began with a city-sponsored task force on aging, which was put together by the mayor and Tempe City Council in 2001…found that Tempe residents tended to ‘age in place” instead of moving away as they grow older. That meant that new services had to be identified to meet the changing need of people approaching retirement age.Tempe Connections
