ASTM publishes all symposia papers in book format (known as STPs or Selected Technical Papers). These are individual publications searchable in Infokat Discovery (online catalog) and are NOT an ASTM standard.
UK Faculty, Staff and Affiliates:
UK Libraries is now providing free access to digital ASTM Book of Standards. Please be aware there is a click-thru license agreement that you will need to agree to to before you get to the site. You will not need to pay for any standards. we just can't make the message to disappear.
All other standards (ISO, IEC, etc.) will need to be purchased. See links below. Please be aware many standards organizations have equivalent standards so you may want to check the digital collection above before purchasing.
Please contact Sue Smith if you have any issues or need assistance.
The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum in Computer Networks
What is a standard or specification?
How do I find a Standard?
Start with Infokat Discovery to see if UK Libraries own it. If you cannot find the standard or have questions, please contact the Science & Engineering Library at 7-0121 for assistance.
How can I tell if UK owns a standard?
If we own the standard there will be record in Infokat Discovery. The exceptions are SAE J Standards and ASTM standards - see TAB above.
If UK doesn't own the standard I want, do I need to purchase it?
You will need to place an order using a credit card or whatever method the vendor requires.
How long does it take to receive an order?
Electronic documents are generally quicker to arrive than print. Contact the vendor for more information.
Does UK have SAE J standards?
The Society of Automotive Engineers issues a handbook each year that contains the “J” standards for the industry. We have the annual CD-ROMs through 2010 available in the Science & Engineering Library - please ask at the desk.
Does UK have ASTM standards?
The Science & Engineering Library has the entire 2010 collection available on the shelf on the 3rd Floor past the public copy machine on the right in the Engineering Reference Collection.
