PILOTS is a bibliographic database produced at the headquarters of the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in White River Junction, Vermont and is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Its goal is to include citations to all literature on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental-health sequelae of traumatic events, without disciplinary, linguistic, or geographical limitations, while offering both current and retrospective coverage. Document types covered include journals, books, book chapters, pamphlets, technical reports, and materials in all languages.

The UAH Library is pleased to offer trial access to two new databases through March 9, 2007. COS Scholar Universe, a new database offered by CSA, allows you to easily search for like-minded researchers, collaborators, and peer reviewers. This database offers both biographical and bibliographical data on academic researchers around the world. CSA Illustrata: Natural Sciences provides web-based access to indexed tables, figures, maps, graphs, charts, and other images contained in scholarly articles. Users can display the full image, including captions and label text – all of which can be easily saved or imported and used for presentations, lectures, or research. To access these trials, click here, select one of these databases, and click “Continue to Search”.

The Gravity Probe-A Collection of the UAH Archives has now been indexed and made searchable! Gravity Probe-A, a joint program of the NASA-Marshall Space Flight Center and the Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution, was launched by NASA in June, 1976. It was the first test in space to explore the structure of space and time, and was designed to test the “equivalence principle” part of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. Click here to search the collection by Title, Author or Abstract. You can also download the Finding Guide to the Gravity Probe-A Collection in PDF format.
