Library Dementia Services: How to Meet the Needs of the Alzheimers Community: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Library Dementia Services: How to Meet the Needs of the Alzheimers Community" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

There are 50 million people globally living with Alzheimers disease and related dementias, and tens of millions further who are their caregivers. As a public service, it is important that library and information professionals learn to serve and assist those with dementia.

Designed for seasoned professionals and library science students alike, this book first presents a complete overview of the spectrum disease known as Alzheimers dementia, as well as a basic understanding of the information needs of dementia caregivers. It then explores best practices, guidelines, and concrete ideas for serving those with dementia and their caregivers, including:

  • Customer service and communication, with evidence-based suggestions for working with this population;
  • Information resources to best meet the reference needs of the community, as grounded in LIS user studies and health informatics;
  • Collection development for ongoing and appropriate mental and social stimulation of those experiencing cognitive decline; and
  • Programming ideas for both communities, with a wide variety of focus and content.
  • Lifelong learning, mental stimulation, and social connections are central to libraries core mission. Readers, both from library and information science and in related social services and social sciences disciplines, will gain a comprehensive toolkit for service both to those in cognitive decline and their caregivers, meeting the needs of both communities with thoughtful and innovative practices.

    Acknowledgments

    As with any project of this size and breadth, I owe a debt of thanks to a variety of colleagues and friends upon the journey. Mary Beth Riedner and a multitude of other librarian colleagues have shared their stories, their frustrations, and their inspirations as they pioneer services to those living with dementia, as well as in their personal lives of Alzheimer's caregiving. Dan Freeman, Ninah Moore, and other staff at the American Library Association and ASGCLA encouraged and supported my writing of earlier professional training projects in library dementia services. Many colleagues at the Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Kent State University Library kept me fed with documents and resources during the research. My special thanks go to Anthony Bernier, Michael Blackwell, Belinda Boon, Lili Luo, and Kristen Rebmann for feedback and encouragement on early materials, as well as Charlotte Maiorana, Charlie Wilson, and the rest of the editorial staff at Emerald for their high level of professionalism and editorial support. Above all, the project would not have happened without the life of Dr Barbara Joyce Lake and the tireless and generous support, intellectual polish, and inspiration of Dr Jennifer Hambrick.
