• Interlibrary loan (ILL)

Unfortunately, interlibrary loan is generally not an option because most libraries do not circulate their standards.

If you can not find the standard you need at the University of Maryland, you may want to try another library in the area. The most extensive collection of standards can be found in the standards library at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST):

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) http://www.nist.gov/
Standards Information Program
820 West Diamond Ave.
Gaithersburg, MD 20899-1070
Telephone: 301-975-4040
E-mail: library@nist.gov
Directions

Vistors to NIST must call ahead to:
• Make sure the library has a copy of the standard
• Schedule an appointment for a visit
