- Library Usage Trends and Needs of International Students Shaffer, Christopher Vardaman, Lisa Miller, Donna Academic Libraries Foreign Students Student Needs Student Attitudes Familiarity Library Role Library Services Librarians Library Personnel Cultural Awareness This paper seeks to discover international students' perceptions of academic libraries. Specifically, Troy University's library in the southeast corner of Alabama was studied. This university was chosen because of the researchers' familiarity with it. Troy University was also chosen because of its diverse student population. By discovering the needs of this population of students and comparing them to the needs of more traditional American students, it will be possible to better understand the distinct needs of international students in general.
