abstract
As the cost of electronic databases continues to rise, some educational institutions are being forced to cancel some of their electronic database subscriptions, including standards services. Standards databases might be cancelled because of high prices and narrow user applicability. This paper will address how the ILI Standards database may be used in lieu of other alternatives to continue to give the engineering faculty and students access to industry standards on-line, while at the same time lowering the library's overall costs.
