A Multilingual Virtual Tour for International Students
Article co-written with A. Downing for the 5/2001 issue of College & Research Libraries News [link]:
[Downing, Arthur, & Leo Robert Klein. "A Multilingual Virtual Tour for International Students: The Web-based Library at Baruch College Opens Doors." College & Research Libraries News [Online], 62.5 (2001): 500-503.]Providing effective library orientation for international students poses special challenges. An international student’s profi- ciency in the language of the host country may be limited, and his or her functional vo- cabulary is unlikely to include library terminology. International students encounter library procedures, resources, and systems that are quite different from what they had experi- enced in their homeland. Moreover, the educational system of their native country may entail a role for the library that con- trasts with the course re- quirements for library re- search faced in the host country.
