Joyce Yukawa is Associate Professor in the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) Program of St. Catherine University. She has taught introduction to LIS, information access services (reference), research methods, internet fundamentals and design, information literacy instruction, libraries and emerging technologies, human information behavior, web usability/accessibility, and older adults services. Her teaching, research, presentations, and service draw upon interests in the blending of face-to-face and online interaction in librarianship and professional development, with a particular focus on social learning and service learning within communities of practice. She has had experience as a librarian in academic, public, and special libraries in the U.S. and Asia. She received her Ph.D. in Communication and Information Sciences from the University of Hawai`i.

For LIS 7380 Older Adults and the Web (2012-2013), students were introduced to issues and practices related to the online information seeking of older adults and the implications for the information professions. Topics included: the impacts of aging on society; older adults' information seeking behavior and computer and web use; best practices for teaching older adults; library services and advocacy for older adults; and engaging older adult volunteers. A major component of the course is service learning – active, engaged learning integrated with socially responsible practice. Students collaborated with Anoka County Library to create a project or service to benefit older adults. Students used research skills in an evidence-based assessment of their work in the service-learning project.
From September to December 2012, the first class of students launched the older adults service-learning project with Anoka County Library (ACL) through doing an assessment of older adults' needs related to information and computer technology. ACL administrators and staff had identified a needs assessment as the necessary first step toward improving current library services to older adults. The final report, Older Adult Services at Anoka County Library, Report of Phase 1: Needs Assessment 2012, documents key findings and presents recommendations for services that can be developed by future collaborations between MLIS students and ACL (download this report as PDF). Students presented the report to the ACL Board.
This was a successful and meaningful experience for all involved. It was an opportunity to use our knowledge and skills to benefit the library and the community that produced results that might not otherwise be possible without this collaboration. For one student, the hands-on experience performing a needs assessment and producing materials to support findings was a unique opportunity as a student. Other students valued the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with community engagement (reaching out to agencies, organizations, and individuals), to learn about demographic shifts and implications for future services, and for time to reflect on aspects of growing older related to libraries and our personal lives.
From September to December 2013, the second class of students built on findings of Phase 1 of the service learning project, guided by the recommendations of the Fall 2012 class and ACL priorities. Having identified a need for clear and available training materials to prepare and recruit volunteer computer coaches to train older adults in computer use, the students developed a training toolkit for use by the staff and volunteer computer coaches at ACL. The project deliverables included: (1) a curriculum outline that can be used to lead a training session when orienting new volunteer computer coaches; (2) tips for computer coaches on best practices for teaching and working with older adults; (3) conceptualization aids that provide a means of understanding and explaining common computer concepts often difficult for new computer users to grasp; (4) additional resource guides to aid coaches with challenging subjects, such as Internet safety and troubleshooting; and (5) online spaces for computer coach community support. The final report, Older Adult Services at Anoka County Library, Report of Phase 2: Volunteer Training 2013, documents key findings and presents recommendations for services that can be developed by future collaborations between MLIS students and ACL (download this report as PDF). Students presented the report to the ACL Board.
Again, this was a very rewarding experience for students in diverse ways - "a sense of accomplishment and pride from the amazing things we managed to deliver to ACL", "some project management tools that will be extremely helpful as I move forward into larger and larger projects both in the remainder of my time at St. Kate's and in my professional life", "knowledge of older adults and their use of technology and experience studying and discussing surrounding issues", and "a better understanding of the needs of older adults, effective tips and techniques for instructing them, and some experience partnering with a public library to develop a program" (anonymous responses to a final questionnaire). The Anoka County Library staff and Board were appreciative of the accomplishments - tools, resources, and information to help the project move forward.
