description
The GLASSFILE database covers worldwide literature related
to the scientific, technological and historical aspects of
glass and allied fields. The documents are abstracted and
indexed according to a bilingual (French – English)
thesaurus developed by the IPGA. Most of the references dated
between 1970-1985 are in French, with abstracts provided since
1975. Since 1985, all references include English translated
titles and most of the abstract are in English.
