“…Onwuegbuzie and Jiao (1997), for example, found that non-native English speakers reported higher levels of library anxiety than native English speakers. An unfamiliarity with library jargon can add extra difficulties to international students' information seeking (Howze & Moore, 2003). Similarly, technological barriers were often found in earlier studies (Onwuegbuzie & Jiao, 1997).…”

“…Interviews were the second most popular, and 21 studies (30%) used this method either as the sole method or as part of a mixed-method design. Testing was used in four of the studies, albeit by slightly different names such as skills testing, 35 multiple choice testing, 36 or pre-and post-testing. 37 Eighteen (26%) of the studies used mixed research methods including different combinations of the following: surveys, testing, writing analysis, 38 focus groups, 39 interviews, 40 website content analysis, 41 research portfolios, 42 key tracking, 43 and collection usage statistics.…”

This study is a systematic review of the library and information science (LIS) literature related to international students and academic libraries. A systematic review involves the methodical collection and analysis of a body of literature and is growing in popularity in the LIS field. Three well-known LIS databases were systematically searched for articles related to the topic, and manual bibliography searches were conducted to find additional publications. Journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers were included or excluded based on established criteria. Findings show that articles published about international students and academic libraries have increased steadily between 1990 and 2014. The majority of authors are affiliated with universities and institutions in the United States, although an increase in represented countries is apparent. Fewer than half of the articles can be considered original research, and surveys are the most popular method for data collection. The LIS field-and international students-would benefit from further exploration of this topic, particularly from original research with practical implications.
