The resources below will help you identify engineering standards. Most standards must be purchased, but some are available at UGA or through InterLibrary Loan. Contact sciref@uga.edu about gaining access to a specific standard.
Full text of all current ASTM standards and journals. Covers a broad range of engineering disciplines, including civil, mechanical, chemical, and environmental engineering.
Provides access to standards that have been incorporated by reference in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Standards are read-only, with no print or download options.
The database of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI); covers ANSI-approved standards as well as some non-ANSI documents. Search by keyword in title or by document number. ANSI University Outreach Program includes free access to select ISO and IEC standards.
The ASSIST database provides access to the full text of Defense and Federal specifications and standards available. Search by number, keyword in title or browse by subject (FSA - Federal Supply Class).
Derwent Innovations Index (DII) combines the Derwent World Patents Index with the Patent Citation Index. DII allows for precise searching of over 14 million patents from 40 issuing agencies worldwide by topic, title, patent numbers, classification codes, inventor, assignee and compound. Most entries have links to abstracts and PDFs of the original patent applications with full text and images. For each patent, DII provides links to patents cited by the inventor and examiner as well as later patents that cite it. Using the Cited Patent Search option, researchers can search directly for patents that cite another patent. As part of the Web of Knowledge platform, DII also links to related journals, conference proceedings, and books that cite the patent.
The Lens focuses on illuminating what innovation capabilities exist, who and which institutions have them, and how those capabilities fit into the complex jigsaw puzzle of problem solving.
