PATH Database Hits New Mark-- World's Largest
Seyem Petrites, UC Berkeley

The California PATH Database recently reached yet another milestone - entry of its 25,000th fully-abstracted record into the Database. Attending a celebration of the event at UC Berkeley's Harmer E. Davis Transportation Library were PATH and Institute of Transportation Studies managers, researchers and staff.

Two noted visitors from Washington, DC, Ms. Nelda Bravo, Head of the National Transportation Library and Ms. Barbara Post, Manager of Information Services for the Transportation Research Board, were also on hand.

For the event, PATH Database Manager Seyem Petrites and Database Librarian Michael Kleiber joined Ms. Bravo and Ms. Post to virtually enter record number 25,000 into the Database. The record chosen for this honor was an Internet report entitled Other Road-Side Detectors, authored by PATH's Dimitri Loukakos for the ITS Decision Database.

The PATH Database is the world's largest bibliographic database devoted to Intelligent Transportation Systems. Founded in 1988 by the Institute of Transportation Studies, the Database is maintained and managed by the Institute's Harmer E. Davis Transportation Library.

Internet access to the Database is provided through a partnership established in 1998 between the California PATH Program and the Transportation Research Board, with Database funding provided by Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation.
