- W28348237 abstract "Active Library on Corrosion 2.0. By W. F. Bogaerts. New York: Elsevier, 1998. Price: $2,845 (stand alone); $4,310.50 (single site networked). (ISBN: stand alone: 0-444-82942-3; single site networked: 0-444-50024-3). Requirements: IBM PC or compatible (486 or higher); Windows 3.1, 95, or NT4; 8 MB RAM or higher; MS mouse or pointing device; 15 MB hard disk free space; CD-ROM drive; accelerated video card; color monitor. The Active Library on Corrosion 2.0 (ALC20) is a CD-ROM product designed for the corrosion engineer or researcher. Its sole disc contains a wealth of information and data from well-known books, NACE standards, and other publications in the corrosion area. All aspects of corrosion are covered, including corrosive agents, their action upon metal and nonmetal materials, the environments and systems in which corrosion occurs, and corrosion prevention. The strength of ALC20 lies in its comprehensiveness and search capabilities, with links from one portion of the product to another. It brings together many existing, separate sources of information and makes them available in one place. The sources are not necessarily recent, but represent the core of corrosion literature. Eleven books are reproduced in full, including such titles as Corrosion by Schreir (Butterworth, 1994), Corrosion Atlas by During (Elsevier, 1988), Fundamentals of Designing for Corrosion Control by Landrum (NACE, 1989), and Corrosion Prevention by Protective Coatings by Munger (NACE, 1984). Students of corrosion might wonder why books by Fontana or Jones are not represented, but no selection criteria could be found. The user can view the books through a double window featuring the content outline in the left sidebar and headers in the main window that can be expanded with a mouse click to view paragraphs, figures, and other information. In addition to the books, the CD includes a fine glossary, defining every term imaginable. The alphabetical list is easily scanned; clicking on a term bring up its definition. There also is a section devoted to corrosion control, with materials selection tools built into it, but the source for the information is not identified. This section features a table of system-inhibitor combinations, but it doesn't seem to print properly. Only three journals are represented on the CD, and very limited portions at that. The two NACE titles are Corrosion for 1994 and Materials Performance for 1994. The full-text of each article is included. The Elsevier title Corrosion Science for 1994-96, however, only offers abstracts. This is perhaps the most disappointing section of the product; covering so few journal titles with only partial runs is both unhelpful and misleading from a research standpoint. No mention is made in the product booklet or publicity about intentions to build this portion of the library. …" @default.
