Abstract
  • International students are an expanding population at universities in the United States. It is important that academic librarians understand the information needs and unique challenges of this patron group and address their needs accordingly. This study explores international students' use of Davis Library at UNC-CH from the perspective of both academic librarians and international students. The study employed semi-structured interviews with three academic librarians at Davis Library and ten international students who have used Davis Library. The responses demonstrated areas in which the library is serving international students effectively and ineffectively, and it illustrated some of the challenges these patrons face in locating resources within the library.
