National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) databases

Provides access to over 80 NIST scientific and technical databases with a major emphasis on measurement methodology and the basic technology underlying standardization. Here are links to some of the main NIST database topics: Analytical Chemistry ~ Atomic and Molecular Physics ~ Biometrics ~ Biotechnology ~ Chemical and Crystal Structure ~ Chemical Kinetics ~ Chemistry ~ Environmental Data ~ Fluids ~ Materials Properties ~ Mathematical Databases, Software and Tools ~ Physics ~ Surface Data ~ Thermophysical & Thermochemical Each of these database sets is also described elsewhere on this page. Some databases may not be free.

RAND Reports

RAND = Research AND Development, and is a nonprofit "think tank" that helps improve U.S. policy and decision-making. The site includes publications in the areas of environment, energy, international policy, national security, transportation, and science and technology, and more. Many RAND reports are indexed in DTIC and available as "AD" numbered reports or as cataloged items in the library.

Risk Assessment Information System

Sponsored by the Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management, this site has serveral tools and databases such as: Preliminary Remediation Goals; Established Regulatory Limits for Surface Water and Groundwater; Toxicity Values; Human Health Risk Exposure Modeling; and a Risk Assessment Glossary.

SAE's Global Mobility Database (Society of Automotive Engineers)

Librarians access (only) via STN - $$
Indexes worldwide literature on all vehicle types, including those for land, sea, air, and space. Has excellent coverage of aerodynamics, aircraft, electric power, engines, tires, UAVs, etc. - usually cited as SAE Paper numbers. The library owns SAE Papers from 1972 thru 1990 in microfiche and they are free to copy. Those we don't own we can order via Interlibrary Loan. For SAE standards - SEE - I.H.S. Standards

Science Citation Index

Science Citation Index Expanded (part of the "Web of Science"). Provides access to current and retrospective cited references from the world's leading science and technical journals. AFRL coverage 1990 to present. Prepaid version available on AFIT computers in library - 1988 to present.

Science Direct

It is one of "the world's largest collection of science, technology and medicine full text and bibliographic information," and the library connects you to millions of scholarly articles available from 1995+. Includes all journals published by Elsevier, Academic Press, Pergamon, North-Holland and others.

Scitation

We have access to most of the journals published by the American Institute of Physics; American Physical Society; Acoustical Society of America; American Society of Mechanical Engineers; American Vacuum Society; International Centre for Diffraction Data; Laser Institute of America; and MAIK (the Russian Academy of Sciences). Many older issues are in the Library.

SCIRUS

Searches across 167 million science-specific Web pages including full-text journal sources like: BioMed Central, MEDLINE, Science Direct (Elsevier, Academic Press, etc.), Scitation (AIP, APS, ASME, SPIE, etc.), and the Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, as well as NASA reports, and various e-print and patent databases. Connects to millions of full-text subscription and free files.
