Culture Shock! A Guide to Customs and Etiquette is a 56 volume set of books covering countries from Argentina to Vietnam. Each book discusses the customs and etiquette of a different country. These books can be found in the circulating stacks.  Search the online catalog to find the title you are interested in, for example,"Culture Shock and India" and its location in the Library.

An effective way to find resources is to search the online catalog  (http://uclid.uc.edu/search/X) for SUBJECTS such as:

If you are not successful with a subject search, combine key concepts (KEYWORD search) for example, global AND community.  From these results, identify items and the subject heading that best represents your selected concept.

You may limit your location to Clermont. However, be aware that this limit would eliminate electronic books and resources from the results.
