International Students - Barriers To Using Academic Libraries
Number of pages:
20
ABSTRACT:
This 20 page paper explores the problems international students have using American academic libraries. Typically, when we think of barriers, we think about language but it goes much further than just a different language. There are both nonverbal and verbal communication factors. Another barrier is cultural differences and yet another is the differences between the student's homeland educational and library systems and those in America. Numerous barriers are identified and discussed. There are also recommendations for how to overcome the barriers with innovative examples from some college campuses. Bibliography lists 21 sources.
