A bibliography of doctoral dissertations on aging from American institutions of higher learning, 1981-1983

This bibliography is the thirteenth supplement to the original work which covered 1934-1969. The supplements include all titles of earlier years which were found after the original bibliography was published in the Journal of Gerontology, 1971, 26, 391-422. Due to the nature of bibliographic control in regard to doctoral dissertations, each supplement will try to cover the academic year rather than the calendar year. This means that a dissertation issued in 1970 may be either in the original bibliography or in the supplements. Both online and manual search techniques were employed in the compilation of this supplement. The arrangement of the supplement is similar to the original bibliography.
