REQUEST: Materials explaining technology concepts for senior citizens

Hi there -- A faculty colleague has asked for recommendations for books that explain tech concepts to seniors. If you have go-to materials (print, digital, etc.), we'd love your suggestions!

Hi Kristin, I think this is a little off target, but it is a wonderful resource: Have you looked into the free classes/workshops provided by the Denver Public Library? These resources are not really end-user targeted. They are the class materials intended for use by other libraries or educators. BUT, they include exceptionally well-designed handouts, slide presentations, etc that may meet your needs. https://www.denverlibrary.org/ctc-classes I hope you find this helpful, and good luck! I would love to hear what other librarians share.
