Name: Amna Al QaisiClass: 571First project Teaching a Refugee Client ”Hajer Abood” How to Use Software/Hardware to Search on the Internet This project and the instructions are about vitally important personally and professionally for those whom English is not their first language. I feel is very important for most librarians because it will give them the ability to greatly assist those who use foreign languages. When I entered USA as a refugee in 2007, I really needed to be able to converse with my family who spoke very little English. I needed the Arabic keyboard to chat with them. I searched everywhere to find an Arabic Keyboard, but it was very difficult to find one. After I asked and search I found a very beautiful, elegant, easy and efficient way to deal with the problem. Really, the need is the mother of research. As usual I started to Google to solve my problem. I found it at Arabic keyboard.com! It was as if a virtual Arabic keyboard with Arabic letters on it like ) أ,ب,ت,ث,ج,ح,خ,د,ذ,ر,ز,س,ش,ص,ض,ط,ظ,ع,غ,ف,ق,ك,ل,م,ن,ه,و,ي) I was so happy to discovered and found the solution to my dilemma. I was proud of myself because I discovered the solution by myself. I found using this resource to be invaluable because I can do research in SIRLS topics in Arabic. There are vast academic databases of articles written in different languages!
I started to teach the clients who they are really in need to use the Arabic and different keyboards at the resettlement agency and at Martha Cooper brunch library. When I started to think about this project and asked many clients to be my student, they embarrassed to do it with me because I informed them that I will write a biography about them and give their address and phone numbers in my project. Then my daughter offered to help me and participate in this project. She told me that I taught her this thing before and she worked as a volunteer in TIARC organization to teach the refugees how to use it. I welcomed her idea to be my student in this project.
Hajer Abood is from Iraq .She is one of my twins. She lives in 8 countries in the Middle East. She speaks six Arabic dialects including; Iraqi, Egyptian, Syrian, Jordanian, Libyan, Lebanese, in addition to English language and little Spanish. She is 15 years old. She is a 9th grade student at Rincon High school. She resides in 840 N. Al Vernon Way, APT #102,Tucson Az #85711 and her phone # is 520-908-6350. She is very smart, fluent, in computer literacy but didn’t know about the Arabic keyboard.

The benefits of using different keyboards and the internet:
. It is very cheap
. You don’t need TV
. It is free
. You don’t need translation or interpretation
. You can watch any channels at any time (because these channels open 24 hours).
. Any one can use the same way if s/he wants to use academic search at any field of study.
