Abstract
Information is a public good which must not be denied anyone regardless of socio-economic status or political
affiliation. However, some groups of individuals such as political refugees are underserved with this essential

The paper includes a review of some library and information services to refugees in Myanmar and Zambia and concludes with proposal for library and information services to the refugees.
