Abstract

The globalization of campuses has led to increasing numbers of international and exchange students. However, librarians often develop instructional opportunities for students from other countries with little understanding of how academic information literacy (IL) differs around the world. Using Mexico as an example, this study employs survey and focus group methods to examine how Mexican librarians understand and teach for IL within higher education.1 Findings from this study are subsequently used to explore the design of more culturally appropriate learning experiences for international students in the United States.2.
