UC Libraries’ faculty and staff are happy to welcome new international students who are learning about the campus and visiting libraries this week. On Thursday morning over 250 undergraduate international students got introduced to key library resources and services through an interactive orientation session. During one of the orientation activities students and orientation leaders put star stickers for their home locations on the maps.
We hope that many more new and returning faculty and students will put stars on the U.S. and world maps on the chalkboard inside Langsam Library.

Our special connection: Albi, a peer mentor at Langsam InfoCommons, was born in Albania.
“…All flags shall here be seen…” – this line from Pushkin’s “The Bronze Horseman” describing the thoughts of Peter the Great as he was envisioning St. Petersburg, comes to mind as one enters Langsam Library this summer. Flags of dozens of countries adorn the Circulation and InfoCommons desks greeting the UC Community, including nearly 3,200 international students from 110 countries. “I feel as if I were at the United Nations [Headquarters],” a colleague remarked today passing by the InfoCommons desk.
