Abstract
“During this leave I wished to research how libraries provide service to older students, especially middle-aged students. Institutional Analysis at UVic shows that the number of students aged 40 years and older has been increasing over the last 10 years, both in absolute numbers and in percentage overall. A survey of this demographic would provide information relative to what services these students want from the library compared to what is currently available. A review of how other libraries offer services to older adult students, will contribute to the formulation of recommendations to the strategic plan of the library generally and to the goals of the Reference Services unit specifically."
