120 Railway Abstracts have been retrieved from online Databases

Thanks to the providers of these abstracts for giving NDT.net permission to use their copyrighted material.

It shouldn't take a catastrophe like the Eschede train accident to show us that databases are important sources of information. Of course they're not always free - the material we've included here would cost you approximately US$ 500. On the other hand, armed with such good information, you might be in a better position to recoup your cost and then some. First, you need to learn how to search. Achieving good results isn't always a matter of entering one simple search term. You need to choose the right database, advanced search, terms, synonyms, etc..

The Internet Browser interface makes the operation user-friendly, the drawbacks of earlier complicated retrieval languages are eliminated. However, we learned with our railway search that even advanced search forms could not deliver it all. Back to powerful but complicated retrieval language? We had to face problems of American English vs. British English, e.g., railroad vs. railway, non-destructive, nondestructive. That means the form for OR .. OR ...AND ..OR ...OR ...AND was not available. Anyway, databases should correct AE - BE automatically.
The last database on this page - EINS - is a 'virtual' (Meta) Database Host of about 50 Databases. A very interesting service, but since we already had all the information ready we just used their conference database. You can also make your life easy and order a literature search just saying 'I want NDT resources in the field of railway wheel and track'. We 'ordered' this by the BAM Literature Service, it can cost you between DM 100 to DM 500.
