question

Q. Can the library purchase standards?

answer

Answer

Standards can be very difficult for the library to obtain. Some are very restrictive and costly. Some popular standards we cannot purchase because we are prohibited from distributing them, even under fair use.

If a standard is not available through our subscriptions and is created by the private industry, it is likely subject to strict copyright. It is best to contact Ask a Librarian and tell us what you are looking for. We can evaluate standards requests on a case-by-case basis.

You can visit our databases page to see which ones contain standards.


NAS standards: Any that we own in print can be found in EagleSearch by title and in the stacks with the call number Ref TL671.1 .N377; our print subscription ended in September of 2021.


RTCA can be accessed by ERAU faculty and staff only. Contact Ask a Librarian if you need more information.


Please view our Standards Guide for more information.
