A standard is a document that establishes a rule or measure (either minimum or optimum) for quality or level of performance. A standard can be produced and/or adopted by national standards organizations, professional associations or societies, international standards organizations, or private companies.
Most standards held at the Engineering library are on the first floor of the Engineering Library. Ask at the Reference Desk for assistance in finding a particular standard.
The standards in the Engineering Library collection and the web resources listed are primarily engineering related. For standards related to other subjects, you might try checking with other libraries. For example, the Health Sciences, Natural Sciences and Architecture Libraries all have standards in their collections.
