AgeLine Sold to EBSCO
ITI Bloggers July 15th, 2009
Unlimited Priorities Corporation, a company specializing in support for organizations within the information industry, announced the sale of AgeLine, an online bibliographic database produced by AARP and focused on the subject of aging and middle-aged and older adults, to EBSCO Publishing. EBSCO will take over the abstracting and indexing activities from AARP, continue to provide access to the geriatric community, and invest further in the database. I was a bit perplexed as to why there was no information about this at the EBSCO booth. Iris Hanney, CEO of Unlimited Priorities, just grinned. “Guess I just got my press release written more quickly,” she quipped.
