2.5 Million Teens

Rickman, W. (2015). 2.5 Million Teens. Knowledge Quest, 43(5), 22–27. Retrieved from http://libaccess.sjlibrary.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=102556292&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Rickman surveyed Arkansas school librarians about LGBTQQ issues in collection development. Although her response level was very low (37 out of 700), Rickman concluded that there is a "lack of resources available for the LGBTQQ student population in the state and an acknowledgment of the need for resources."

Although there are a few major limitations to the study, I agree with Rickman's assessment and also appreciated the list of resources for finding quality material for LGBTQQ students.
