TRB Webinar: Searching TRID: the TRIS and ITRD Database

TRB conducted a web seminar or “webinar” on December 1, 2011, that helped individuals become familiar with searching TRID - TRB's Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database and the OECD's Joint Transport Research Centre’s International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. View the recorded webinar.

TRID, released in 2011, is the world's largest and most comprehensive bibliographic resource on transportation research information.  It is produced and maintained by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies with sponsorship by state departments of transportation, the various administrations at the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other sponsors of TRB's core technical activities.  ITRD is produced by ITRD member organizations under the sponsorship of the Joint Transport Research Centre (collectively JTRC) of the International Transport Forum and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).  

The Transportation Research Board's TRID website is a leading tool for transportation professionals to stay updated on the status of world-wide transportation research. TRID covers all modes and disciplines of transportation and contains more than 900,000 records of references to books, technical reports, conference proceedings, and journal articles in the field of transportation research. Almost 500 serial titles are regularly scanned and indexed for TRID.   More than 64,000 records contain links to full-text documents.   

At the end of this training webinar users will know:  

• How to perform a search of the TRID Database
• How to perform a search using the advanced options to narrow or expand a search  
• The type of content included in the TRID Database
