A qualitative research design is employed including semi\u2010structured face\u2010to\u2010face interviews and focus groups which are thematically analysed through an information practice lens. <jats:bold><jats:bold>Findings<\/jats:bold><\/jats:bold> \u2013 Refugees encounter complex and challenging information landscapes that present barriers to their full participation in their new communities. Social inclusion becomes possible where information is provided via sharing through trusted mediators who assist with navigating the information landscape and information mapping, and through visual and social sources. <jats:bold><jats:bold>Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:bold><\/jats:bold> \u2013 The study is local and situated and therefore not empirically generalizable. It does however provide rich, deep description and explanation that is instructive beyond the specific research site and contributes to theory building. <jats:bold><jats:bold>Practical implications<\/jats:bold><\/jats:bold> \u2013 The study highlights the role, and importance, of social and visual information sources and the key role of service providers as mediators and navigators. Governments, funders and service providers can use these findings to inform their service provision. <jats:bold><jats:bold>Originality\/value<\/jats:bold><\/jats:bold> \u2013 This is an original research paper in which the results provide practical advice for those working with refugees and which also extends theories of information literacy practice as an information practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/00220411311295351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,10]],"date-time":"2013-01-10T15:31:46Z","timestamp":1357831906000},"page":"121-144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":198,"title":["Connecting with new information landscapes: information literacy practices of refugees"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Annemaree","family":"Lloyd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Anne Kennan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kim M.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asim","family":"Qayyum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012820370846700_b1","unstructured":"ABS (2008), Glossary, Migrant Data Matrices, The Australian Bureau of Statistics, Canberra,  ABS Cat.
