contents A Systemic Review of United States Academic Library Guides Gregory K. Tharp Academic Libraries Library Instruction Library Materials Guides Information Sources Mental Health Information Seeking Research Purpose: The purpose of this research project is to examine the state of mental health library research guides in the United States as well as the services offered by academic libraries. This paper highlights the informational background, mental health resources and tools and support services available besides academic library guides. Methodology/Approach: The methodology centered on a systematic review of mental health library research guides currently available in 2025. A search using the Google search engine was conducted to identify relevant research guides. Keywords searched included: mental health library research guides. Results: A systematic review of mental health academic library literature reveals that there is a lack of academic literature on United States academic library guides and identifies mental health resources for the academic community. Limitations of Study: The study's empirical data is limited by a myriad of factors, the size and geographic focus of the systemic review, focusing on the United States, as well as focusing on library research guides from academic libraries. Originality/Usefulness of the Research: This study is designed to identify mental health library resources available to the general public to assess the mental health self-help resources available to the public. There is a need for mental self-health resources due to a myriad of factors, including propensity of certain populations (e.g. adolescents) to have a need for mental health services.
