Engaging Communities, Advancing Research
The USC Roybal Institute maintains a regularly updated database of academic literature and relevant research reports that are published by its faculty. The online library is not intended to be exhaustive, but we hope it provides useful information for researchers, policy advocates, health service providers and others who wish to learn more about aging and diverse populations.
Please Note: Many online journals require registration and payment to access full-length versions of articles. Faculty, students and staff at universities and colleges can often access electronic journals through their online campus library network for free or at a minimal cost. Some public libraries also provide such access to its members. Please contact your public or university library for more information.
