Abstract

International students face tremendous challenges adapting to a new environment. From the pressure to learn a new language, new approach to learning to making new friends, it can sometimes be a daunting and challenging experience for students. In order to cope, they need to access and process large amount of information very quickly, otherwise their mission and purpose of earning foreign certificates might be jeopardized. For this reason, this chapter looks addresses the limited knowledge around the information needs, seeking behavior, and use of international students. This knowledge is important for educators, institutions, and societies to be able to provide the necessary support to help international students cope and adapt to their new environment.
