- Abstract
- Thirty-two peer reviewed library science papers were read and analyzed for current thinking and best practice concerning six sub-topics within the greater context of attracting and keeping young adults in libraries: the physical library space, staff-patron interactions, young adult programming, collection development, technology, and service promotion. Also included is a word analysis of the papers graphing the frequency of specific keywords related to the topics. The word analysis shows that contemporary peer-reviewed literature has been most concerned with collections and collection development. Suggestions for best practice, flaws, and suggestions for future research into this area are included.
