摘要

本文介绍了一项全国性研究，研究了在COVID-19大流行期间，美国小型和农村公共图书馆如何支持老年人的社会联系。结果表明，小型和农村图书馆采用了五种方法与老年人保持联系。结果进一步表明，小型和农村公共图书馆将与其他为老年人服务的机构建立更强的组织间伙伴关系视为重中之重。这些结果表明，需要加强继续教育和专业机会，重点是将公共图书馆员更坚定地融入美国支持老龄化的更广泛的实践领域。图形抽象

Supporting Social Connectedness of Older Adults during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Role of Small and Rural Public Libraries

ABSTRACT This article presents a national study of how small and rural public libraries supported social connectedness among older adults in the United States during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Results suggest that small and rural libraries employed five approaches to stay connected with older adults. Results further show that small and rural public libraries see establishing stronger inter-organizational partnerships with other institutions that serve older adults as a top priority. These results suggest a need for bolstering continuing education and professional opportunities focused on embedding public librarians more firmly into the broader field of practice of supporting aging in America.

期刊介绍： Public Libraries Quarterly is addressed to leaders-directors, managers, staff, trustees, and friends-who believe that change is imperative if public libraries are to fulfill their service missions in the twenty-first century. In PLQ, directors and operating officers tell how they accomplished change. The journal examines: •best practices and models to improve service •management case studies-with results and failures •library mythologies that retard individual and institutional development •studies of how to plan results and accomplish desired outcomes •marketing and fund-raising tools that work •budget and financial analysis tools and tips
