Global Collections and You!

Do you want to do research in languages other than English? This session is for you!

Are you an international student? Or planning to study abroad? Are you interested in using resources in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Hindi, Russian, or Swahili* for a paper or thesis? How about browsing our collection of global comics? The librarians at the Center for Global Collections have got you covered! 

This session will provide an introduction to Penn’s Global Collections and how to find resources across hundreds of languages, whether for fun or academic research, at and beyond Penn. Geared toward speakers of any language, this session will be taught by librarians with different language skills. There will also be a hands-on component, so bring your questions, ideas, and a laptop or other device!

*and many more!
