Bibliographic Instruction for International Students in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Reviews the problems posed by international students in higher education in the USA, and some of the difficulties they encounter. Specifically relates these problems to the provision of library services and, more specifically, to bibliographic instruction. Reports on a survey from the University of Toledo to examine foreign students′ background knowledge of academic libraries and to develop a programme to meet the special needs of this multicultural group. Presents specific conclusions and recommendations.
