New National Library publication
The Aged in Australia: A Research Guide and Select Bibliography of Australian Publications is the National Librarys contribution to the United Nations International Year of Older Persons. It is published in print and will soon be on the Librarys web site. The compiler was Roy Jordan.
As a legal deposit institution, the National Library has an outstanding collection of Australian material. The bibliography lists the Librarys holdings of works of 100 pages or more, published in Australia after 1945, on the subject of the aged and the related areas of gerontology and geriatrics. It includes a research guide to help readers locate basic information about the aged and to enable them to find their way around the research libraries that house the vast amount of literature on this topic.
