EBSCO Publishing Acquires AgeLine From AARP
EBSCO Publishing (www.ebscohost.com) has purchased the AgeLine database, formerly produced by AARP. AgeLine is a leading 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. EBSCO Publishing has provided AgeLine on its EBSCOhost platform for many years. EBSCO Publishing president Tim Collins says purchasing AgeLine allows the company to continue to offer the database to its customers. "We are always looking for acquisitions that match our core content areas and supplement our strengths. AgeLine is a tremendous resource that fits well with our existing mix of products and we look forward to offering it to libraries and continuing to strengthen the content it provides." AgeLine is designed for researchers, professionals, students, and general consumers. The database addresses aging issues from individual, national, and global perspectives. EBSCO provides a variety of additional databases related to health for professional and consumer use including Alt HealthWatch; Consumer Health Complete; Health Source: Consumer Edition; Natural & Alternative Treatments; and SPORTDiscus with Full Text.
