Relocation of the Standards Collection to the National Library Board
The Standards Collection at SPRING’s Information Resource Centre will be relocated to the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library at Level 7 of the National Library Building located at Victoria Street. The Collection is available with effect from 7 December 2010, from Monday to Sunday and from 10am to 8.30pm (except public holidays).
The move will facilitate free access to our comprehensive standards collection without having to sign up as members. At the same time, users can make use of NLB’s business, science and technology information resources to complement their standards research.
All the standards are strictly for reference only. They include major international standards like ISO and IEC standards; Singapore Standards and other national standards such as British, German and Chinese Standards; and industry and consortia standards such as ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials, ASHRAE American Society for Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, SAE Society of Automotive Engineers, TAPPI Technical Association for the Pulp and Paper Industry amongst others.
Along with the move to digitisation, users of the standards can browse the catalogue and related information. This enables more efficient information search, which includes assisted search enquiry for specific countries, products or subjects. Information sessions and talks on relevant standards for certain industry sectors will be organised.
