Public libraries have an essential mission to offer high-quality services, programming, and materials to individuals across all age groups. While these institutions typically provide many programs and services catering to children and adults, teenage patrons' needs are often overlooked (Bernier et al, 2014). To rectify this, it is essential to establish dedicated spaces within the library tailored to teenagers' interests and preferences. By incorporating engaging programming and curating materials and resources specifically geared toward this demographic, libraries can effectively convey a message of inclusivity and appreciation, making teenagers feel welcome and valued (Joseph, 2010). The purpose of this research study is to analyze scholarly literature on teen services in public libraries during a twenty-year period (2002-2022). It looks specifically at aspects such as programming and services, physical spaces, specialized staff, outreach efforts, and the demographics subgroups of teenagers represented in the existing literature.
公共图书馆的重要使命是为各年龄段的个人提供高质量的服务、节目和资料。虽然这些机构通常为儿童和成人提供许多项目和服务，但青少年读者的需求往往被忽视（Bernier et al, 2014）。为了纠正这一问题，必须在图书馆内设立专门针对青少年兴趣和喜好的空间。通过融入引人入胜的节目，策划专门针对这一人群的材料和资源，图书馆可以有效地传达出包容和欣赏的信息，让青少年感到自己是受欢迎和被重视的（Joseph，2010）。本研究旨在分析二十年间（2002-2022 年）公共图书馆青少年服务方面的学术文献。本研究特别关注现有文献中的项目和服务、物理空间、专业人员、外联工作以及青少年人口统计亚群等方面。

A public library’s website is often the first introduction that a user has to the library. Users come to the website looking for information about the library’s location, hours, how to get a library card, library programs, search the library catalog, or other services. As Poll writes, “Libraries have started to offer a new virtual ‘entrance’ to their services: the library website” (2007, p. 1). As such, a library’s website must provide users with the information they are seeking simply and clearly. People expect websites to be simple to use and to be able to find the information they are seeking quickly; simply put “if it’s convenient, they will use it; if not, they won’t” (Nielsen & Loranger, 2006, Preface, xxi). Ideally, a public library’s website will fulfill these needs for their community. The library website should provide information to patrons in a way that the majority of its users will understand. Providing access to information is a key component of the mission of public libraries and the library website is often the first stop for patrons looking to access library resources. This study is a web analysis of Chicago area public libraries in RAILS (Reaching Across Illinois Library System) using checklists based on the work of Chow, Commander, and Bridges (2014), Powers (2011) and Vargas Ochoa (2020).

In 1911, the American Library Association (ALA) formed its first committee on prison libraries. While this committee opened the door to important conversations on correctional libraries, the ALA did not actively become involved in correctional systems until 1944, when the Objectives and Standards for Libraries in Adult Prisons and Reformatories were approved (Austin, 2019). The real catalyst for creating nationwide libraries for the incarcerated came in 1971, when “Congress passed the Law Enforcement Administration Act, which funded prison law libraries and provided budgets for other reading materials” (Sullivan, 2000, p. 57). This led to what was coined the “golden age of prison libraries” in the 1970s. Since then, many studies and personal anecdotes have been published on librarians’ views of their role within a corrections facility. These vital conversations continue today as the ALA rewrites its guidelines for services to incarcerated individuals throughout 2023. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the websites of a sample of libraries across the U.S. to determine their relationships with local correctional facilities. This study will continue the work of a study published by the American Library Association in 1980 regarding services offered to correctional institutions across the country.

Rock music lyrics are often denied their status as influential pieces of literature in much the same way, it seems, as graphic novels, but both are no less effective in conveying a message or eliciting a powerful feeling. Not until October 2016, when Bob Dylan became the first songwriter to win the Nobel Prize in literature since 1913, did lyrics truly get a step closer to being recognized as literature within the boundaries of rock music (Chaudhuri, 2016)? This study was designed to help inspire others to take up the torch to further research: the influence and the power that literature had on the lyricists in the development of rock music, the concept of rock music as a proponent to spread the word of literature through its own influence, and the concept that rock lyrics should be considered literature in their own right and given consideration in collection development. The purpose of this study is to provide a quantitative analysis of record sales charts along with content analysis of literature in rock lyrics to provide a historic overview of the influence that classic literature had on “rock’ n’ roll “/” rock” music, a genre often considered to have been derived from an uneducated subculture by the same name, from the mid-1960s through the turn of the century in 2000.

A public library’s website is often the first introduction that a user has to the library. Users come to the website looking for information about the library’s location, hours, how to get a library card, library programs, search the library catalog, or other services. As Poll writes, “Libraries have started to offer a new virtual ‘entrance’ to their services: the library website” (2007, p. 1). As such, a library’s website must provide users with the information they are seeking simply and clearly. People expect websites to be simple to use and to be able to find the information they are seeking quickly; simply put “if it’s convenient, they will use it; if not, they won’t” (Nielsen & Loranger, 2006, Preface, xxi). Ideally, a public library’s website will fulfill these needs for their community. The library website should provide information to patrons in a way that the majority of its users will understand. Providing access to information is a key component of the mission of public libraries and the library website is often the first stop for patrons looking to access library resources. This study is a web analysis of Chicago area public libraries in RAILS (Reaching Across Illinois Library System) using checklists based on the work of Chow, Commander, and Bridges (2014), Powers (2011) and Vargas Ochoa (2020).

The history of libraries is a complex story of ups and downs. There have been times in American history when libraries almost ceased to exist (Boyd, 2009). One of those moments was during the American Great Depression of the 1930s. During this time, American institutions failed, jobs disappeared, homes were lost, and American libraries began to disappear. This paper aims to discover the Pack Horse Library Project's role in Kentucky history and its legacy. This paper answers two questions—How did The Pack Horse Library Project save libraries in Kentucky? And how did women save library services in eastern Kentucky?—by exploring different aspects of this topic, including the history of libraries in Kentucky during the Great Depression, The New Deal, the creation of the Works Progress Administration, the history of the Pack Horse Library Project, what role the program had on the development of libraries in Kentucky, and how the Pack Horse Library Project affected the role of women in the library.
