Abstract

Because transgender issues are not often openly discussed, little is known about the transgender community and its information needs. Yet, people who are dealing with transgender issues may have pressing needs. In ongoing focus group research we are exploring the ways in which members of the community have sought to meet their own information needs. En raison du fait que les problemes transgenres sont rarement abordes ouvertement, on connait peu de choses sur la communaute transgenre et sur ses besoins informationnels. Cependant, les individus qui sont confrontes aux problemes transgenres peuvent avoir des besoins pressants. A l’aide d’un groupe de discussion permanent, nous explorons les methodes utilisees par les membres de cette communaute pour combler leurs propres besoins informationnels.
