Standards   Tags: resourceguide  

The Texas A&M University Libraries use SAI Global Standards to order standards that are not already available in the libraries or in other online databases. Use the tabs above to access full-text standards of ASTM, ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Codes, API, and IEEE.

This policy is for standards ordered from the SAI Global Standards database.

•  The requestor is affiliated with TAMU College Station, Galveston, or Qatar. 
• The standard is required for research or is required for use by several students in a course. 
• In the case where the standard(s) is needed for research, the TAMU/TAMUG/TAMUQ professor, researcher, or graduate student must request the standard.  External co-researchers' requests will not be filled. 
• In the case where the standard is required for a course, the standard will be ordered and placed in Course Reserves for the course.

Additional Information: 

• In order to ensure that the standards funds are distributed fairly, orders per person or lab are limited to $1000/year. 
• Only one copy of a standard will be ordered per person or lab. 
• Professors and researchers are encouraged to use their grant money to pay for their standards before they request standards from the TAMU Libraries. 
• Undergraduate requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis.  Priority will be given to senior projects. 
• Whenever possible, electronic versions of standards will be ordered vs. print. 
• In general, orders for draft, cancelled, and superseded standards will not be filled.  The requestor will be contacted to verify the order.
