Abstract
Elder care, especially for those with cognitive impairments, such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease is a growth field. While there is a great deal of information on the internet, caregivers struggle with finding the right information, especially because caregivers are often elders themselves and may not be as tech saavy. This is a case study discussion of information literacy outreach steps and assistance provided to a Dementia Support Group for Caregivers in the form of embedded librarianship. This includes bibliographic support in an easy to use and visual format, via an online webpage marker, in this case, Pearltrees.
