This sites are one of the largest and fastest growing web sites wholly devoted to the area of Materials Science and Engineering. These two sister sites contain a searchable database of papers. Abstracts and partial papers are available for free, full copies in PDF format are available through membership of the site. Publications in the materials science and engineering area are covered. Proceedings (also partially published in paper form), as well as research papers, letters and pre-publication notices which are published only electronically are included which gives an easy to access mine of information.

The Engineering Integrity Society offers a unique forum for industrial engineers to exchange ideas and experience. This site is easy to use with information about conferences and call for papers along with links to other relevant societies. Different groups of the society enable the reader to be directed easily to their particular area of engineering expertise. The main criticism is that the sites colour scheme of a black background makes for difficult reading.

This is the web site of the American Society for Non-destructive Testing. Membership is available for purchase online which gives you access to the member's own area. Non-members can purchase books in the online shop. The Society's Journal contents page can be viewed. The site also contains a lot of links to other sites and details of training courses in Canada and America. A very useful information resources section gives details of non- destructive testing methods.
