Transient migrants and their multiple digital environments

This article serves as the introduction to our Special Issue ‘Transient Migrant and Information Behaviours’.

This is because we live in an information-saturated world that offers unlimited information to meet our needs both online and offline, thus making communicating with individuals and groups challenging. These challenges become even more heightened when people are in countries other than their own and subject to information channels, platforms, cultures and languages foreign to what they know.
