This study describes a survey of 141 lesbians in a metropolitan area of North Carolina. In addition to assessing library usage and library satisfaction, this study also examined information needs as they exist within the situational contexts of these women's lives. Results indicated that during the initial stages of identity acceptance, when individuals may not have access to the lesbian community, the library is used heavily as an information resource. During the later stages of identity acceptance, information needs become more specific and resources are consulted with more discrimination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
