 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.

I stopped by the EBSCO booth yesterday and was invited upstairs to their ‘crow’s nest,’ which has a fantastic view of the exhibit hall. Oh yes, and they wanted to bring me up to speed on the new databases they’ve introduced on EBSCOhost: Dental & Oral Sciences Source, Biography Reference Center, Digital Archive collections (sourced from the American Antiquarian Society and the American Theological Library Association), and ConsumerReportsHealth.org. And if anyone is interested in reviewing any of these for ONLINE, just let me know!
