This Web page, as its name suggests, provides a "virtual library" of information on the Internet covering migration and ethnic studies, including links to numerous newsletters, US and world government sites, migration-related organizations around the world, and more, including numerous sites not mentioned individually in this guide. Many of the sites listed here are academia-related but have statistics and data possibly of use to nonprofit human service organizations.
