Medical Resources
- Aerospace Medicine Technical Reports
- Published by the FAA, the FAA AM index provides access to Aviation Medicine reports by subject, author and chronologically. Most reports are also full text at this site. You may also access the entire collection in full-text format at the Hunt Library website at http://library.erau.edu; just click on 'Online Full-Text Resources,' then 'FAA Aviation Medicine Reports.'
- PubMed
- PubMed is the publicly accessible version of MEDLINE developed by the National Library of Medicine. It contains citations from over 3,900 international biomedical journals, some of which are owned by the Hunt Library including Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine. Journal coverage is provided from 1966 through the present. In most cases, an abstract is included with the citation. PubMed Central, a subset of PubMed, contains full-text documents, many of which pertain to aviation/aerospace medicine.
Military Resources
- AULIMP
- AULIMP is the Air University Library Index to Military Periodicals from 1990 through the present. This index is searchable by journal title, author, subject heading, or keyword. A simple search (the default choice) is restricted to a single field. An advanced search will allow you to search different fields. The result list shows the article titles, and you can click on the 'Full Citation' to see more complete information.
- Searchmil.com
- All the results found by this search engine are pages which have the .mil extension to their Web address or URL.
- U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory
- The AARL provides aviation medical research support to Army aviation activities. Click on "Technical Reports" on the right side of the menu bar. For best results, type in a few words from the title of a report in quotation marks. To do a keyword search, use either a single word or an exact phrase in quotation marks. Without the quotation marks, the database will only search for the first word that is entered.
Transportation Resources
- Transportation Research Board (TRB) Publications Index
- This index contains over 30,000 annotated citations from the 1920s to the present. It includes individual papers from the Transportation Research Records, conference proceedings, circulars, and TR News.

- TRANweb
- The Transportation Article File from Northwestern University. It indexes a large number of journal articles, some of which can be found in the Hunt Library. Searching should look familiar to ERAU students because Northwestern is using the same software as the Hunt Library's online catalog, Voyager.
- TRIS Online
- The Transportation Research Information Services from the Transportation Research Board. An index of over 450,000 items including books, journal articles and research reports from the 1960s to the present. After identifying a useful source, ERAU students are welcome to speak with a Reference Librarian to determine if the item is in the Hunt Library.
