Abstract

Abstract While there has been some research about the intersection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and larger research libraries, less work has been done in other academic library settings. To assess librarians’ knowledge of ASD, the authors administered an ASD training manual and subsequent survey to academic librarians at a liberal arts college library in the Southeast. The librarians found the training about ASD itself to be most valuable. Additionally, they gave positive assessments of their ability to serve students with ASD both at the individual and institutional levels. This suggests that librarians recognize the importance of serving this unique population.

一所小型文理学院的自闭症培训:图书管理员的看法和外卖

虽然已经有一些关于自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)与大型研究型图书馆的交集的研究，但在其他学术图书馆环境下做的工作较少。为了评估图书馆员对ASD的了解，作者对东南部一所文理学院图书馆的学术图书馆员进行了ASD培训手册和随后的调查。图书管理员发现关于自闭症谱系障碍本身的培训是最有价值的。此外，他们对他们在个人和机构层面服务自闭症学生的能力给予了积极的评价。这表明图书馆员认识到为这一独特群体服务的重要性。

期刊介绍： Public Services Quarterly covers a broad spectrum of public service issues in academic libraries, presenting practical strategies for implementing new initiatives and research-based insights into effective practices. The journal publishes research-based and theoretical articles as well as case studies that advance the understanding of public services, including reference and research assistance, information literacy instruction, access and delivery services, and other services to patrons. Articles may examine creative ways to use technology to assist students and faculty. Practice-based articles should be thoroughly grounded in the literature and should situate the work done in one library into the larger context of the situation.
