Library and Information Science Research, v13 n3 p281-300 Jul-Sep 1991

Discussion of mass media use by older women focuses on a study of 55 women (average age 82) that examined their perceptions of time, their preferred media, their perceptions of the role of the public library, and actual use of the public library. Implications of the results for information professionals and further research possibilities are also discussed. (53 references) (LRW)
