摘要：

This article reports on research about the digital literacy needs and training preferences of older adults living in affordable housing. Partnering with a Canadian public library and affordable housing corporation, we conducted a thematic analysis of interviews with 15 seniors in affordable housing. The analysis indicates that these seniors need training that is adaptable to an individual's interests, promotes confidence, and addresses financial barriers to using information and communication technologies effectively. Findings affirm the value of accessible training located within seniors' social networks. Drawing on critical gerontology, we discuss practical and policy implications for public libraries and affordable housing networks.
