Abstract

Abstract The Students with Autism Transitional Education Program (STEP) at Eastern Illinois University is one of the few of its kind and is a leader in supporting college students with autism. Eastern Illinois University Library Services teamed up with the STEP in order to provide support to the students in the program. Students were interviewed about their experiences in the library in order to determine what their impressions of the library were and what potential needs they had. Students largely viewed the library as a safe haven and a great place for quiet study. Based on feedback, this case study also offers suggestions for improvement to make college and university libraries more welcoming to people with autism.

期刊介绍： College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
