About AgeLine
What is AgeLine?
The AgeLine database is an interdisciplinary index of the literature of aging. Because the scope of indexed publications is limited to gerontology, it allows precise and focused searching for faculty and students studying the field.
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.
AgeLine indexes monographs and articles from over 600 journal titles from 1978-present (with selected coverage from 1966-1977).
Access to AgeLine
Ageline was formerly produced by AARP, but the database was acquired in mid-2009 by a third-party vendor.
UNC-Chapel Hill's Davis Library is currently offering access to campus users for a limited trial period. On campus users ONLY can use the AgeLine Trial Access. The trial will end in December, after which the University may decide to purchase access. During the trial period, faculty are encouraged to send comments in support of the purchase. Send comments to danielle_borasky@unc.edu.
