International students: information literacy or academic literacy?
Abstract
Western universities continue to attract large numbers of international students. But we have not always understood their information literacy needs, which go much deeper than lack of facility with English and into the realm of educational philosophy. In order to enable international students to experience the education our universities are promising them, we need to develop integrated training programs that move beyond the basics of information literacy to what might be called "academic literacy." Librarians are in a unique position to initiate the development of such programs.
