    DIALOG NEWSROOM -- A KEY RESOURCE FOR AEROSPACE & 
     DEFENSE INFORMATION 
     
    Dialog NewsRoom (Files 989-996/NEWS,NE00-NE05) is a 
     collection of more than 11,000 publications from around 
     the world, most in fulltext or English-language 
     abstracts, and covering virtually every discipline. 
     Extensive coverage of military affairs, geopolitics, 
     arms and armament, and defense technology is available. 
     Examples of titles include "Asia-Pacific Defense 
     Reporter," "Aviation Week & Space Technology," "Flight 
     International," "Intravia," "Periscope Daily Defense 
     News Capsules," "Russian Defense Industry Digest" and 
     "WPS Defense and Security." Even noted scholarly 
     journals such as "Journal of Aircraft," "Naval War 
     College Review," "RUSI Journal" (Royal United Services 
     Institute for Defence and Security Studies) are part of

    CSA DATABASES ON DIALOG EXPAND HIGH TECH AND 
     ENGINEERING COLLECTIONS 
     
    Dialog has expanded its High Technology and Engineering 
     collections with CSA databases. Engineering content 
     from CSA includes specialty files, such as Mechanical & 
     Transportation Engineering Abstracts (File 14) and 
     Engineered Materials Abstracts (File 293). Solid State 
     and Superconductivity Abstracts (File 68) focuses on 
     basic and applied research in aeronautics, astronautics 
     and space sciences, as well as supporting fields such 
     as chemistry, geosciences, physics, communications and 
     electronics.  Because solid state and superconductivity 
     technology has a profound impact on virtually every 
     industry, it is included in the High Tech category. 
     These files are available on a transactional basis and 
     by subscription. Three other CSA databases -- CSA 
     Aerospace and High Technology Database (File 108), 
     METADEX(R) (File 32) and CSA Technology Research 
     Database (File 23) , a comprehensive mega-file 
     comprising engineering, high technology and materials 
     research -- are available by subscription only. 
     
    Custom CSA report templates, Dialog eLinks and links to 
     related research materials are available for CSA files 
     through DialogLink 5. Searchers can use the custom 
     templates to quickly process their research into a 
     desired format, such as Microsoft(R) Word, for 
     distribution to customers, managers and others in their 
     organization. For more information on CSA files 
     available through Dialog, visit our Web site at 
     http://www.dialog.com/csaenews.

    SEARCH TECHNIQUES 
    MINING NEWSROOM FOR AEROSPACE & DEFENSE STORIES 
     
    Every story in the Dialog NewsRoom database is indexed 
     for product/industry (Dialog PN= / DataStar .PN.). Key 
     product/industry name codes are: 
        * aeronautics and space technology 
        * aerospace 
        * military equipment 
        * military electronics 
        * security 
        * security systems and electronics 
        * weapon systems 
        * airborne forces 
        * seaborne forces 
        * ground forces 
     
    Additional indexing is available for geographic 
     location (Dialog /GN or GN= / DataStar .CN.), language 
     (Dialog LA= / DataStar .LG.), company (Dialog /CO or 
     CO= / DataStar .CO.)  and event name (Dialog /DE or EN= 
     / DataStar .SC.).  Combining Event Name with a 
     Product/Industry Name can yield highly relevant 
     stories, for example: 
     
    Dialog: 
        pn=weapon systems and en=forecasts 
     
    DataStar: 
        weapon-systems.pn. and forecasts.sc. 
     
    Note that Event Name and Product/Industry Name are 
     included in the Descriptor Field index.
