Step by Step

If you look under Databases on the library homepage we have the ASTM (AKA Compass ASTM Standards).

Or go to IEEE under databases and click on browse and then choose standards.  We can get those via Interlibrary loan.
You can also to Ansi.org to search the American National Standards Institute Standards; we do not subscribe, but you can get them via Interlibrary Loan.  

Also under databases you choose Engineering Village and standards under document type and select standards. If we do not have full text, you can request it via ILL.
