B.D.Loader@tees.ac.uk 03/02/04 07:27 AM >>> I'm currently undertaking a literature review on ICTs and care for Older People and was hoping that list members may be able to suggest research publications they are familiar with. In particular the use and design of ICTs to facilitate independent living, human friendly design and training requirements would be very helpful. Please also let me know if you would like a copy of the review.

Here are two possible sources for you: * As a research assistant I took part in an action research project called Réseau d'information des aînées et aînés du Québec (RIAQ) ["Quebec Seniors' Network"]. The new site seems to be mostly in french : http://www.grandsparentsvirtuels.ca/site/riaq/default.ntd but there is a section in English: http://www.grandsparentsvirtuels.ca/site/riaq/default.ntd?sort=1.10 The scientific supervisor of the project is Pierre-Léonard HARVEY, Université du Québec à Montréal, Département des communications, <harvey.pierre_l@uqam.ca>, and he might certainly give the references of publication in english derived from this research. * I found one reference in english in my own bibliography on Internet uses, and a little research allowed me to find these references of papers by Deborah DUNN, Westmont College, Department of Communication Studies, <dunn@westmont.edu> Publications: Cody, M.
