EBSCO Introduces AgeLine with Full Text

EBSCO Information Services has launched AgeLine with Full Text, a newly developed database that serves as a significant resource for research concerning adults aged 50 and above. With an emphasis on social gerontology, this all-encompassing tool addresses various dimensions of aging, including health, psychology, economics, and social factors.

A Holistic Approach to Aging Research

Designed for academics, researchers, and educators, AgeLine provides full-text access to over 100 journals and magazines that cover a wide array of essential topics related to aging. Users will find valuable information on issues such as health and wellness, caregiving, retirement, social policies, and inequalities faced by older adults. The database is curated to support the educational and research needs across multiple disciplines, enhancing both teaching and scholarly activities related to gerontology.

Moreover, AgeLine with Full Text assists libraries in fulfilling the growing need for quality research on aging. According to EBSCO’s Senior Vice President of Research Databases, Dave Mangione, libraries play an integral role in fostering research and education covering aging-related topics. He emphasizes that this resource addresses critical gaps by providing comprehensive access to literature that shapes academic study, policy-making, and practical applications.

Diverse Coverage of Aging-Related Topics

The interdisciplinary nature of AgeLine encompasses various subjects peripheral to aging, including lifelong learning, health policy, elder law, rehabilitation sciences, and even workforce aging. This breadth ensures that users receive current and pertinent content that enriches their understanding of aging and its implications in society.

Key themes within the database reflect on disability studies, nutrition, end-of-life care, and human development. By offering such a wide-ranging perspective, EBSCO not only aids in academic research but also fuels discussions around elder care and the policies affecting senior citizens.

Supporting Educators and Researchers

AgeLine facilitates scholarly research and is a notable asset for coursework across diverse fields such as gerontology, public health, sociology, and social work. Its thorough coverage serves to bolster faculty scholarship and evidence-based practices, creating a solid foundation for teaching and learning.

As the aging population continues to grow, the importance of resources like AgeLine cannot be overstated. They provide the essential knowledge needed to navigate complex aging issues, ensuring that educators and practitioners are well-equipped with the data and context necessary to support their work.
