Hello LM_Netters,

I am in the process of compiling resources that identify "emerging
populations"  in U.S. schools.  For instance, in our state there is a large
and growing Hmong and Somali population.  I have struggled to find quality
resources to purchase for our library supporting these cultures. I am
searching for materials written in English, not neccesarily in the
country's native language.  My goal is to identify 15 countries/cultures
that need to be added to our collection.  I welcome any information you can
offer.  As I research for these materials I am putting together
bibliographies for each individual country/culture and will create a source
book for librarians and educators.

These are the questions that I have:

1.  What state are you from and what are your "emerging populations"?

2.  Are you able to find materials about these countries/cultures?  If yes,
where are you finding your materials?

Please share any resources/titles that you have.

Thank you and please e-mail me directly.
