Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by persistent patterns of inattention or hyperactivity and impulsivity that may interfere with daily life. College and university students with ADHD may struggle with aspects of academic library use and research, and ADHD may be underdiagnosed and undertreated in marginalized populations. Academic library support for students with ADHD has been understudied, but more research is emerging on how students with ADHD struggle and adapt to university life. This article will review literature about college students with ADHD and identify themes in the existing research that can inform academic library practices. Recommendations for how academic libraries can support students with ADHD as well as areas for future research will be identified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
