Savy Seniors

Seniors are the fastest growing segment of computer users. Those over sixty have become, or are becoming, very computer savy. The want to make the best use of the computers they are purchasing. More importantly, they want to use their time wisely in searching the most relevant and timely websites.
Visit The Worcester Public Library website at http://www.worcpublib.org/. Click on web resources on the left hand side of the page. Then click on the heading"Seniors." What you will discover is the result of a program that was given at the library to provide librarians ideas in serving this population. Topics of importance, agencies, hands-on-tutorials, and some fun sites are listed. By bookmarking this page, it is easy to scroll and quickly pick a topic of concern or interest. Browsing may also prove helpful. We hope that your patrons will find these sites well-organized and useful in assisting those of any age.
