MetalBase Added to Sci-Tech Collection on Dialog

With the addition of MetalBase (File 36), Dialog continues its commitment to sci-tech researchers by developing sector-specific data collections from existing multidisciplinary databases. MetalBase provides comprehensive coverage of international metals literature. The file includes references and abstracts for hundreds of technical journals, technical reports, conference papers, reviews, books, and patents. Topics covered include all aspects of applied metallurgy—properties, processes and materials. MetalBase is drawn from all metals categories covered in INSPEC® (File 2) and Weldasearch (File 25). Metals-specific records will be extracted from other Dialog databases and added to this file in the future.

MetalBase will help researchers in the development process who are working in the metals and steel industries and all users of metals and steels in sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, construction and petroleum.

Coverage dates from 1966 to the present with weekly updates. Dialog Alerts are available and Dialog eLinks are offered.

Rates are $7.75 per DialUnit and $1.65 per minute; full records are $2.70.
