- Internationalization in German Academic Libraries: Moving beyond North American Perspectives Bordonaro, Karen Rauchmann, Sabine Foreign Countries Academic Libraries Global Approach Online Surveys Language Role English Interviews Library Research Comparative Analysis Comparative Education Multilingualism Code Switching (Language) Librarian Attitudes Information Literacy Student Mobility Curriculum Development English (Second Language) Library Services Foreign Students This paper explores how internationalization is understood and experienced in German academic libraries. Its main purpose is to move the discussion of internationalization in academic libraries beyond the boundaries of English-speaking North America by investigating a European perspective. Its secondary purpose is to investigate the role of English in German academic libraries. An online survey and a series of in-person interviews conducted in Germany in April 2015 provided the data for this study. What emerged are a series of stated differences and similarities between North America and Germany informed by the two overarching themes of implicit internationalization and plurilingualism, the ability to switch from one language to another as required.
