摘要：

Researchers set out to determine, through a community needs assessment, whether there are specific informational needs within the Transgender population of a metropolitan area that have not been identified or are not being adequately addressed by libraries. Information regarding the unique types of material, format, and modes of accessibility the members of the local Transgendered community prefer also was assessed. This article presents findings of the survey and the resulting recommendations as they pertain to library collection development. (C) 2007 by The Haworth Press, Inc. All rights reserved.
