Description:

The resources included in this collection were selected from a careful survey of the available library literature pertaining to the topic of serving the elderly population in a public library setting. The parts of this collection comprise one assignment. Firstly, the students were asked to write 14-15 article critiques and then a summary position paper. The end product was the presentation of a research poster integrating the content. There is a works cited list following the image of the research poster and the position summary giving credit to the sources consulted. Hopefully, those resources will be helpful to others completing similar research about this topic. This Merlot Website represents one assignment; a part of the whole requirements, for Introduction to Library & Information Studies, a core course of many others required of all graduate students in the MILS program at the school of library science. This is a topic which sparked my interest in the field of librarianship.
