Specialty SciTech Files Add More Content

To help SciTech researchers get exactly what they want, records on specialty topics have been grouped in their own databases on Dialog. Two files were launched in 2004—MetalBase and AeroBase™. Additional content continues to make these databases more robust.

AEROBASE

AeroBase™ (File 104) has been enhanced with additional records, increasing the coverage of the file to more than 500,000 records, including abstracts of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) reports, Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports from NASA, conference papers and international journal literature.

METALBASE

MetalBase (File 36) also has added new records, increasing the amount of European data and offering wider coverage of international conferences. Specifically, 569,000 new records from PASCAL (560,000 records) and Current Contents Search® (9,000 records) were added. Among the metals topics covered are forms, materials, products, processes and properties, including aluminum, steel and iron. MetalBase also includes reports from Inspec® and Weldasearch®.
