Images can be viewed using a plug in to enable viewing of TIFF files can be downloaded from the site.

Standards

  • The Canadian Standards Association, servers business, industry, government, and consumers in Canada and the global market The Canadian Standards Association developes standards to help people apply them through information products and seminars, CSA International which provides testing and certification services for electrical, mechanical, gas and a variety of other products.  We have the complete current print version in the Taylor Reference collection at call number TA368.N383. We also have a one year trial for CSA Standards online, starting in March 2011. Please let us know your experience using the online version of CSA Standards. This will help us evaluate the resource.

  • ASTM publishes standard test methods, specifications, practices, guides, classifications, and terminology.

  • Engineering Documents  -  Search the world's largest collection of technical standards. Western does not subscribe to the order feature of the database, but you can use it to verify titles and standard numbers.
