Abstract

Due to the increase in neurodivergent students in higher education and the strengthening of the neurodiversity paradigm as a social movement, academic libraries must consider these users. The objective of the present study was to identify - through a systematic literature review - the actions that academic libraries have implemented in collections and services to address the need to include neurodivergence, focusing especially on diagnoses of dyslexia, attention deficit and hyperactivity, and autism spectrum disorder. A bibliographic search was conducted in the databases Web of Science, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, E-LIS, EBSCO, Jstor, Wiley, Network of Latin American Repositories, Web of Science, Scopus, SpringerLink y and Emerald. Out of the 799 initial results, 36 final papers were selected to review. It may be concluded that the actions carried out by academic libraries are diverse and heterogeneous, both in their conception and in their execution, and vary widely depending on the institution in which the library is framed. Services have been the elements most adapted to neurodivergent users, while collections are the least considered when taking inclusion actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
