| dc.description.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 Notes 1. The authors chose the phrase “teaching for information literacy” to reflect and align with their constructivist approach to teaching as well as their recognition that information literacy is shaped and situated by the social context. Including “for” also recognizes that learning is a process of meaning-making rather than assimilation, and that our role is to coach, mentor, or guide learners to make connections and build upon their past experiences rather than to deposit knowledge in them. 2. What identifies a student as international can be nuanced. This paper does not focus on these differences. | en_US |
