Each month, one of our Subject Librarians chooses an electronic resource which they feel will be of interest to you.

October’s Resource of the Month has been selected by John Southall, Bodleian Data Librarian and Subject Consultant for Economics and Sociology.

John’s choice is Abstracts in Social Gerontology. It was chosen because it’s a database that brings together a wide range of abstracts and bibliographies from books, journals, magazines and trade publications.

Resource Overview

An essential tool for anyone interested in the field of Social Gerontology; the study of aging processes and individuals across the life course. This may include the study of physical, mental, and social changes in individuals and groups as they age; the investigation of changes in society resulting from an aging population; and the application of this knowledge to policies and programs.

Abstracts in Social Gerontology will be of interest to researchers considering the interplay of aging with demography, economics, family relations, government policy, health, institutional care, work and societal attitudes.

The coverage of this database goes back to 1990.

Where can you access the resource

Abstracts of Social Gerontology can be accessed via SOLO.
