Abstract
An international research team studied student experiences in academic libraries located in home countries and host institutions. To foster successful transitions, these research findings frame design activities for collaborative orientation programs involving campus academic libraries, international student offices, and academic support services. Learning Objectives:
- Explore incoming international students’ library research experiences and academic support needs to better understand campus collaborative priorities.
- Enhance professional capacity to support transition of international students through designing collaborative campus orientation programs that address support needs for library research and academic success among growing international student populations.
