Orientation for International Graduate Students

Today I spoke about the library to an orientation for international graduate students. I mentioned that as they advance in their academic careers they will not to develop more sophisticates skills in finding information from the peer reviewed literature. I only had 10 minutes, so I briefly showed them how to find the most popular databases. I also talked about the library liaison program.

I remember back in January 1972 I was a new student at the University of Rhode Island. Back then there was not any orientation for students who started in the Spring semester.
