Languages
The Libraries are committed to supporting all learners, which includes supporting their language needs. Although the primary language of our collections is and will continue to be English, the Libraries seek to enable student success by providing resources to international students in their first languages when possible, and by identifying and collecting resources that will aid international students in their quest to learn English. There are no limitations to the languages the Libraries collect, but the focus is on those languages most represented by our current international student population and suggestions from faculty and students. Particular attention is paid to translations of seminal and historically significant works that are heavily used in a given discipline. The Libraries also partner with study-abroad programs and academic programs with a language requirement, to develop collections that will support students who are learning and building skills in other languages.
