Publications
The library produces a line of informational publications, both print and electronic. These include over 30 specialized resource lists on frequently requested topics, a selection of the best Web sites on topics related to Alzheimer's disease, and a video guide that details more than 400 videos.
Borrowing materials
You may use materials in the library. Alzheimer's Association staff and Association volunteers may request materials directly. Materials are lent for a four-week period. The public may directly request photocopies of articles for $10 an item. The library does not lend items from its collection directly to the public. We do lend items through local Alzheimer's Association chapters, and we participate in interlibrary loan. The public may request books, videos and other physical formats through a local Alzheimer's Association office or by going to their local library and requesting an interlibrary loan.
Information requests/requests for materials
Requests can be made online, in person or by telephone, fax, mail or e-mail. Association staff and volunteers please include chapter name, and the title and call number of each item when requesting materials.
