“…While a review of some professional children's librarianship literature reveals that services for children with disabilities is a topic of considerable concern (Akin, 2004; Association for Library Service to Children, 2015; Baldassari-Hackstaff, Kerber, Krovontka, & Olson, 2014;Banks, 2004;G. Barker, 2011;Grassi, Huth, & Jin, 2016;Klipper, 2014;Prendergast, 2015aPrendergast, , 2015b, a thorough review of library and information studies (LIS) research literature reveals that very few prior research studies related to this particular topic exist (D. Kaeding, 2015;Koulikourdi, 2008;Poulson, 1994;Prendergast, 2013;Ross & Akin, 2002;Rovenger, 1987). Also, while prior research has investigated the home and preschool literacy experiences of young children with significant disabilities (Craig, 1996;DesJardin, 2010;Flewitt, Nind, & Payler, 2009;Kliewer et al, 2004;Marvin & Mirenda, 1993;Ricci, 2011;Weikle & Hadadian, 2003), very little is known about how families of children with disabilities choose to use and participate in early literacy learning opportunities offered to young children and their families at public libraries.…”

“…Consequently, a convenience sample of 10 websites was selected from the libraries that had available data and met the population criteria. In a study similar to this one, Prendergast (2013) conducted an analysis of content on Canadian public library websites to better understand how libraries are responding to increasing diversity with respect to children's literacy programs and many of the techniques employed by Prendergast (2013) were adopted for this inquiry, including use of a library authority's website listing to identify and access the sites and select a Journal of New Librarianship, 4 (2019) pp. 476-504 10.21173/newlibs/8/2 485 sample.…”

“…Webometric research into public library live programming is not new, but it is less common than webometric analyses for collection and resource comparisons (e.g., Faulkner, 2018); diversity, inclusion, and accessibility markers (e.g., Prendergast, 2013); or internal quality and efficacy checks (e.g., Jhamb & Ruhela, 2017). Beckett-Willis 2017contends that websites can promote programming to welcome adolescents into library branches, but also notes that most examples of website usage are for other purposes.…”
