Abstract

This informational guide has been created to assist public libraries in the creation of program plans to teach older adults (60 and above) best practices when interacting with technology. It aims to facilitate privacy programming at public libraries that is more in line with the digital behaviours of older adults. The guide will highlight some of the ways that older adults interact with digital information and technology as well as how they are vulnerable using these technologies. It will include information regarding older adults’ own perceptions of their privacy online and their privacy behaviours. Some current technological programs for older adults will be examined before recommendations for creating library programs and teaching technological literacy are outlined.
