Anyone recommend a subscription service for specs?
(OP)
Hi folks...I run a small design services firm. Since I'm "cutoff" from any big company's engineering library, I find myself in a bit of a pickle for getting the latest material, etc specifications.
Can anyone recommend a subscription service (or pay per download) that allows me to download from a LARGE # of worldwide specifications?
I'd like to be able to download things like:
ANSI
ASTM
EC directives.
Can anyone recommend a service that they've been happy with ...and if you know the ~ monthly price that would be great also.
Thanks

You can pretty much get any spec you need and taylor a subscription service for the types of document you require. I think they will also fax or e-mail you documents on a pay per document fee as well. Not sure of the exact price but I beleive you're talking in the few thousand to 10K or more for unlimted use of ANSI, ASME, MIL-Specs and the like.

IHS looks quite good, though a bit tough to negotiate the site. I tried looking for something simple like ASTM A 653 (glavanized sheet) and came up with nothing. Is it finicky about search terms?

Thanks guys.
Has anyone used www.techstreet.com?

Yes ASSIST is very good (and free) for MIL specs, but what about ANSI, ASTM or other non-governmental specs? I don't think they're available thru ASSIST.

It's misleading to say that IHS is the "only game in town" as a source of specs. THE DOCUMENT CENTER is a good one too.
