How people source, engage and act on information have become of significant interest to researchers, industry professionals, policymakers, NGOs and community groups, alike. This is because we live in an information-saturated world which offers a wide range
information to meet our needs both online and offline. These challenges become even more heightened when people are in countries other than their own and subject to multiple digital ecologies which include information channels, platforms, cultures and languages
foreign to what they are used to. This Special Issue specifically looks at the information behaviours of transient migrants – groups of people who are temporarily in a country because of study, work, lifestyle or humanitarian reasons. Transient migrants thus
include students, knowledge workers, migrant workers, itinerant workers, backpackers, tourists, refugees and asylum seekers, just to name a few. </p>
