Abstract

This article summarizes an investigation into a new movement in disability education that impacts academic libraries. Those with (ID) are typically left without options for socializing, education, or employment after high school. To address this, Post-Secondary Education (PSE) programs have been created, which offer a non-degreed course of study at colleges to provide these individuals with education, vocational training, and peer interactions. This study investigates to what extent academic libraries have engaged with PSE programs at their campus to provide their students access to the libraries. The survey contacted all PSE programs in the country that are registered with the ThinkCollege Institute and both quantitative and qualitative data are gathered and analyzed. While library engagement with PSE programs is modest, a number of innovations point to improved programming for the future.

为智障人士（ID）提供图书馆服务：现状探讨

本文概述了对影响学术图书馆的残疾教育新运动的调查。智障人士在高中毕业后通常没有社交、教育或就业的选择。为了解决这个问题，人们设立了中学后教育（PSE）项目，在大学提供非学位课程，为这些人提供教育、职业培训和同伴交流。本研究调查了学术图书馆在多大程度上与本校的 PSE 项目合作，为其学生提供使用图书馆的机会。调查联系了全国所有在 ThinkCollege Institute 注册的 PSE 项目，收集并分析了定量和定性数据。虽然图书馆与 PSE 项目的合作并不多，但一些创新表明未来的项目会得到改善。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and, where applicable, their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also brings to the attention of its readers information about hundreds of new and recently published books in library and information science, management, scholarly communication, and higher education. JAL, in addition, covers management and discipline-based software and information policy developments.
