    I’m considering to choose elderly community for my research paper. I want to focus on elderly people in California who use library services. I’m struggling on gadering enough information for my research paper.

      Hey Dao,

      Maybe look at Senior Homes in your community and library services that cater to them. I know libraries offer tons of activities for older adults through other organizations. An example, art and crafts, art talks, special speakers, classes, outings (I think).

      Something else to consider, senior homes in rural areas that don’t have access to a lot of public services (like the library) .

      Happy Searching!

        @daotran I have had many successful papers over the years on the information behaviors and needs of the senior community. You can use the broader LIS literature and related to those in California.
