Standards and Documentation Database
Database was created by Lloyd Wedes, MLS. Director of Library Services at DeVry University Library, Houston. Funding for this individual project was made possible through The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The Standards and Documentaion database is primarily in English with some German and French. A tutorial on how to use it may be found here.
