This spring semester, EBSCO Publishing is offering Nebraska academic libraries trial access to the following four databases:
- Ageline AgeLine focuses exclusively on the population aged 50+ and issues of aging. AgeLine is the premier source for the literature of social gerontology and includes aging-related content from the health sciences, psychology, sociology, social work, economics, and public policy. AgeLine also includes information for professionals working in aging-related fields and for consumers.
Original abstracts are generated for every citation, with index terms drawn from AgeLine’s Thesaurus of Aging Terminology. AgeLine indexes over 600 journals, books, book chapters, reports, dissertations, consumer guides, and educational videos. Designed for researchers, professionals, students, and general consumers, this database addresses aging issues from individual, national, and global perspectives.
