This Multilingual Glossary is designed to serve international students and scholars who come to use libraries in American universities and colleges for the first time. It consists of forty-seven (47) of the most commonly used terms in academic libraries today. The Glossary is divided into two parts: the Language Table, which presents a list of the terms in six languages, and the Definitions, which give explanations in English for each of the terms. Navigational links are pro vided in each page of the Glossary. This page is best viewed with Netscape 3.0 or higher. The Glossary was compiled and tested by members of the Instruction for Diverse Populations Committee of the ACRL Instruction Section.
