Gerontology Links
The links below can help you find information about aging and the elderly. Some sites are topic-specific, while others (such as the Administration on Aging) are more general and can provide not only specific information but also links to many other useful sites.
As always, use care in evaluating the credibility of websites. In general, ".gov", ".org", and ".edu" sites are reliable and trustworthy, while ".com" sites are in business to make a profit and thus have to be viewed with a bit more caution. (There will be exceptions, of course, in all types of sites.) We try to provide links only to sites we believe can be trusted to provide accurate and unbiased information. However, some sites do have specific agendas, and we include them because their perspectives are, in our judgment, useful ones.
Feel free to contact the program director, Dr. Ed Rosenberg ( rosenberge@appstate.edu ) if you want to suggest additional sites for inclusion, if a site has been discontinued, or if you feel that a site should be deleted from this list.
