February 2021 Library Newsletter for EAS
Library News Library Services in the Age of COVID-19<https://libguides.caltech.edu/welcome/COVID-19>: How to know how the library is operating during all stages of the pandemic. Outdoor study spaces<https://libcal.caltech.edu/reserve/SFL-outdoor-seating> have opened; reservations required. New CINDAS Databases Available For Trial! The Caltech Library has licensed two CINDAS databases, Aerospace Structural Matters Database (ASMD)<https://cindasdata-com.clsproxy.library.caltech.edu/products/asmd> and Microelectronics Packaging Materials Database (MPMD)<https://cindasdata-com.clsproxy.library.caltech.edu/products/mpmd> for use during 2021. The ASMD was created in 2007 and is the online version of the print Aerospace Structural Metals Handbook (ASMH) that was created by NASA and the Air Force. It includes alloys and data curves of materials used in the aerospace industry. The database is interactive and continuously updated. The MPMD contains data on thermal, mechanical, electrical and physical properties of electronics packaging materials. It currently contains 1080 materials, 405 properties and 23,450 data curves. The MPMD is continually updated. Please send me feedback on these resources especially if you find them helpful - it will determine if we subscribe to them beyond 2021!
