EASIER ACCESS TO STANDARDS DOCUMENTATION
Many organizations issuing standards offer reduced prices for publications to their members. Paying a membership fee, even a site membership fee, can therefore be worthwhile - even if relatively few standards are needed. The Library is now exploring the possibility, in collaboration with the rest of the CERN community, of joining standards-issuing organizations. So why not share your costs with the rest of the organization wherever this can be done without violating copyright or access regulations?The Library now provides documentation and other member services from IPC, the Association Connecting Electronics Industries (http://www.ipc.org/html/fsabout.htm) at favourable prices for the entire CERN population.
For more information, or if you are a member of any other organization which provides services which could be shared CERN-wide, please contact library.desk@cern.ch .
We remind all users of international standards, that CERN has special agreements with ISO and IEC (see Bulletin 50/2000).
