Current Awareness in Aging Report

The Current Awareness in Aging Report (CAAR) is a weekly email report that helps researchers and anyone interested in aging and long-term care issues keep up to date with the latest developments in the field. The report tracks new developments in the field including:

• Data releases and updates from government and non-governmental sources,
• Working papers, reports, books, press releases and websites,
• Updates in the bibliographies of major aging-related studies,
• Journal tables of contents, and
• Conferences and grant announcements.

In addition to the weekly CAAR reports, subscribers on the electronic mailing list will receive notices of relevant newspaper articles, along with Internet pointers to the full text of the articles when such articles appear. These notices will be sent on a daily basis--no more than one message per day (due to the fact that newspaper articles on the Internet are not generally freely available for more than one day). Coverage will be limited to the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post at present, unless a story in another major newspaper merits attention.

Not all reports will contain selections in all the above categories. The reports are driven by the new content that becomes available on the Internet.
