Nimitz Library does not have access to all standards, codes, and specifications. If you need one of these resources and you know the standards developing organization, title, alphanumeric code, and/or year, try the following steps. Please note that the library may not be able to fill all standards requests.
1. Submit an interlibrary loan (ILL) request. Watch the video below for more information on how to get started. ILL is a service through which Nimitz Library obtains articles not in our collection from other libraries for your use. You must be on the yard or connected via VPN/VDI to submit a request.
2. Email the Engineering Librarian. The librarian may be able to help find a copy for you.
Most standards developing organizations depend on the revenue from the sale of standards to support their programs and services.
A growing number of standards organizations allow access to their standards for viewing or download for no cost. (NIST)
