This study was an attempt to contribute to a better understanding of elderly Chinese immigrants' information needs, their implications for improved information services, and for the purpose of collecting baseline data about elderly Chinese immigrants' information seeking behavior. The study was exploratory and descriptive.

The subjects for this study consisted of 180 foreign-born Chinese immigrants, aged 60 or over, living in Los Angeles Chinatown, Monterey Park and some cities in the San Gabriel Valley. Data was collected by means of personal interviews in order to answer the research questions. Data were tabulated by frequency and percentage distribution and tested with Chi-square at the.05 level to identify the association that may exist between dependent and independent variables. Discriminant analyses were used to compare the ability of the combined variables to distinguish between users and non-users of specific types of information sources.

The findings reveal that the information needs of elderly Chinese immigrants were diverse. News and information about health issues, hobbies or interests, cultural or religious activities were the most often identified information needs. The most frequently used information sources were newspapers, television, and family/friends. Newspapers, family/friends, and social workers were the most helpful sources of information identified by elderly Chinese immigrants.

The information needs and information seeking behavior of the sample population as related to age, gender, educational level, language abilities, living arrangements, residential area, length of residence in L.A. and frequency of library use are also analyzed. Implications for information services and recommendations for future study are discussed.
