Abstract

ABSTRACT As libraries continue to explore their role in the financial literacy movement, it is important to understand the role libraries’ collections might play. Public libraries in the United States frequently offer both programming and resources related to this topic, and librarians may benefit from a deeper understanding of the content of the most common resources in their collections. In this literature study, the author explored 10 of the resources most likely to be found in public libraries’ collections as determined by searches of the catalogs of the largest U.S. libraries. This study will benefit librarians by enhancing their own financial literacy, extending their understanding of their collections’ content, and prompting a deeper exploration of the interrelation between collections and programming.

期刊介绍： The Reference Librarian aims to be a standard resource for everyone interested in the practice of reference work, from library and information science students to practicing reference librarians and full-time researchers. It enables readers to keep up with the changing face of reference, presenting new ideas for consideration. The Reference Librarian publishes articles about all aspects of the reference process, some research-based and some applied. Current trends and traditional questions are equally welcome. Many articles concern new electronic tools and resources, best practices in instruction and reference service, analysis of marketing of services, and effectiveness studies.
