Guidelines for Library and Information Services to older Adults.

The article presents the 2008 Guidelines for Library and Information Services to Older Adults. The guidelines were established by the American Library Association with the help of current and past members of the Committee on Library Service to an Aging Population and the Office of Literacy and Outreach Services Library Service to the Aging Subcommittee. The guidelines provides information on how to collect data about the older population and create programs aimed at their needs, how to incorporate the special needs and interests of older people into library services and how to make library facilities safe for this population segment.
