[Eril-l] Intertek engineering standards contact?

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

We had a meeting and demo with https://www.madcad.com/   earlier this week and are waiting for a quote.  The variety is more limited than what we were looking at with Accuris but they are expanding.

You need to have a base set of standards/codes  and when there is a need to add something specific it is added as a prorated subscription amount then is continued with full price in next renewal.

Access to standards can be limited to 1 simultaneous user PER STANDARD but that does not exclude others from accessing the platform and using other standards.  They offer IP and proxy access as well as user/pass.

Depending on the standard, there may be no options for downloading, but copying snippets of text is allowed.  For others, PDFs may be downloaded.

If anyone is here already using this service, please let us know how it's working out.

We are looking at our standards as well. I also appreciate if you could share vendors you are happy with.

Thanks.

This is great timing for us - we're looking into improving our access to standards. So please share a summary of any insights you get.

Thanks

Hi colleagues,



We are attempting to work with Intertek to provide access to engineering standards and have had a difficult time getting them to respond to our email requests, particularly around license negotiations. I would be very interested in hearing others' experiences with Intertek off-list. I would also appreciate any contact information you may have.



Thank you in advance for your help.



Best,

Bethany
