British Standards Online: Facelift

The British Standards Online  database has recently undergone a change of the  search interface.  Compared to the previous search screen, the revised service should now be more  straightforward and intuitive to use with greater options to refine and limit your search results.

Any comments or problems, don’t hesitate to contact your Subject Librarian.

British Standards Online is a database giving full-text access to British Standards documents.   You may be required to refer to standards in design projects or to help you identify test methods for materials and processes.
