[WEB4LIB] Technical Reports Website Registry

[Margaret Gross]

Gerry, 
Since many professional organizations such as IEEE, ASME, etc. are
standards issuing bodies, the existence of international standards
databases might qualify as a central registry. The following are fee
based, and are far from exhaustive.
IHS Engineering Resource Centre
<http://www.ihserc.com/descriptions/specs.html>, 
ILI <http://www.ili.co.uk/>. 
For a free standards database see CSS|INFO.
Organizations covered are at <http://www.cssinfo.com/cgi-bin/publishers>
regards,
Margaret
