ESL students often come to the United States with both the strength and weakness of a differing cultural background, and it is our job as instructional librarians to help them merge those differences with available library resources. This session describes best practices for dealing with language barriers and cultural differences in library instruction to this population.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Teaching and LearningESLinternational studentslibrary instructioninformation literacycollege studentsLibrary and Information Sciencepresentation
