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.
"Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is
not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success,
but rather an ability to work for something because it is good." Vaclav Havel
