Since its inception in 1972, the Information Service at CPA has been putting together a variety of reading lists for students, researchers and professional people interested in ageing. By publishing the lists in booklet form, the series Selected Bibliographies on Ageing takes this process one step further, making more accessible the extensive work being carried out in the field of ageing.

Bibliographies will be published on a wide range of topics which reflect the interests of the Centre itself, and those of the many organisations and individuals with which CPA is in contact. Much of the literature referred to in the bibliographies is held in the Centre's library, Britain's largest collection on ageing. This major resource is available for reference purposes by appointment.

That retired people are capable of learning in later life and have a right to education is a relatively recent concept which is nevertheless strongly gaining acceptance. Much still needs to be done, however, to bring about the necessary changes in public policies to give retired people access to the educational opportunities to which they are entitled.

This bibliography explores the existing literature for ideas on ageing and education, and catalogues the work which is being undertaken to make more opportunities available.

The bibliography has been compiled by Dianne Norton who is well-known for her work with both the University of the Third Age and the Forum on the Rights of Elderly People to Education (FREE). The entries
