Unlike books, the contents of journals are not available in the SE library catalog. So where are they located? They are located in magazine and journal indexes. Magazine and journal indexes assign a subject to each article in each journal indexed in the magazine and journal index. Until the 1990's most magazine and journal indexes were in paper, now they are almost all on the Internet. Some of these journal indexes on the Internet index popular magazines, other scholarly, while others are devoted to one subject area, NO Journal Index indexes every journal that is published, so they are selective.

| National Transportation Safety Board http://www.ntsb.gov/ "The National Transportation Safety Board is one of the world's foremost accident investigation agencies. Our job is to find out what causes transportation accidents, and to recommend safety improvements to prevent them from reoccurring. Established in 1967, the Board is a small, independent Federal agency headed by five Board Members who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Board investigates transportation accidents in all modes -- aviation, marine, highway, rail, and pipeline. About 2,000 aviation accidents are investigated every year, ranging from small private aircraft to jumbo jets, and even space transportation. The NTSB also assists in major airline crash investigations overseas involving U.S. manufactured aircraft and components, or U.S. registered aircraft. While the majority of the Board's investigations are in aviation, we also investigate hundreds of surface accidents each year focusing on accidents involving dangers to the traveling public and recurring safety problems. And we also investigate major pipeline accidents and accidents involving the release of hazardous materials." |
| Aviation Safety Reporting System http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ "The Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) was established in 1975 under a Memorandum of Agreement between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). FAA provides most of the program funding; NASA administers the program and sets its policies in consultation with the FAA and the aviation community. One of the main features of the of the ASRS is the ASRS database. "The ASRS database is the world's largest repository of voluntary, confidential safety information provided by aviation's frontline personnel, including pilots, controllers, mechanics, flight attendants, and dispatchers. The database provides a foundation for specific products and subsequent research addressing a variety of aviation safety issues. ASRS's database includes the narratives submitted by reporters (after they have been sanitized for identifying details). These narratives provide an exceptionally rich source of information for policy development, human factors research, education, training, and more. The database also contains coded information by expert analysts from the original report which is used for data retrieval and analyses." |
