- Stereotypes regarding ageing and the use of technology have an impact on how older adults perceive themselves as users of technology. Purchasing groceries online and using tablets for communication are two digital services that have been implemented in a number of municipalities in Sweden. For both these services, choices have been made with respect to how to implement the solutions and how older adults should be introduced to the technology. This work is based on interviews with personnel within one of the municipalities. The participants were asked about the introduction and implementation of the technology, about their expectations, and about how they and the older adults perceived the introduction and the usage. The interviews revealed no strong negative attitudes towards older adults as technology users. Among the personnel engaged coworkers could be found, but the importance of having enough time to engage the older adults was also highlighted. © 2021, The Author(s)

- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present current and ongoing research investigating new ways of working across geographic distances and time within library and information science (LIS). Design/methodology/approach – A total of four studies were conducted focusing on: the design of a virtual research environment (VRE) to facilitate the sharing of data collection instruments among students, researchers and professionals; new ways professionals and researchers can collaborate; collaborative decision making in the context of purchasing a library management system; and collaboration among LIS professionals. Findings – Early results show that VREs within LIS can build on previous VRE research which focused on other domains. However, there are several unique characteristics of LIS that place requirements on VREs and which are not yet implemented within VREs and that offer unique opportunities for VREs to enhance LIS research, education and practice. Originality/value – This paper reports on ongoing research and preliminary findings of unique studies investigating how VREs could enhance LIS research and professional practice, and how LIS research and practice can inspire the next generation of VREs.
