Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
No detailed description available for "Information Sources in Metallic Materials".
The aim of each volume of this series Guides to Information Sources is to reduce the time which needs to be spent on patient searching and to recommend the best starting point and sources most likely to yield the desired information. The criteria for selection provide a way into a subject to those new to the field and assists in identifying major new or possibly unexplored sources to those who already have some acquaintance with it. The series attempts to achieve evaluation through a careful selection of sources and through the comments provided on those sources.

CHOICE Review
A generally good source guide with a decidedly British slant. Coverage is international and provides information, especially addresses, not always easy to find. However, where short lists on specific topics are included (statistical sources, standards, institutes, libraries, etc.), the emphasis is on British names and addresses. Subjects covered are wide-ranging, with the first half of the book covering specific critical metals as well as extraction metallurgy. The second half deals with "applications": powder metallurgy; ceramics; corrosion; design; welding; and metals in the packaging, aerospace, and construction industries. The index is adequate. Unfortunately, no chapter outlines are included, forcing the user to page through entire chapters to find a particular subsection. Not all chapters include bibliographies, but generous inclusion of sources within chapter texts compensates for this lack. Research and graduate-level libraries supporting strong programs in metals and materials will want to purchase this guide. -V. E. Dow, Tredyffrin Public LibraryThere are no comments on this title.
