About AgeLib

What is AgeLib?

AGELIB Subject Terms

AgeLib uses the AgeLine Thesaurus of Aging Terminology for subject terms. You can view a list of the subjects used in AgeLib, but we also recommend that you use the Thesaurus (available in print in our library) to understand how the terms are defined.
