Techstreet is a company that provides access to standards and codes from over 100 international standards bodies and publishers. The Library has subscribed to Techstreet Enterprise which allows for the creation of a custom collection of standards based on faculty and student requests and program needs.
If you know the exact standard or code that you need, email library.resources@durhamcollege.ca to request the purchase. See View a Standard below to learn how you will be able to access the standard electronically.
If you want to verify details about the standard before requesting (version, etc.) follow the steps below under Search the Standards Store.
To view the standards Durham College Library has purchased:

You can also select View subscription details from the home page (dashboard).
You can go beyond the Library's subscribed standards and search the records of all Techstreet standards available for purchase.
From the home page (dashboard), use the search bar.
The system will first search for standards the Library has already purchased. Select View Unsubscribed Results.

The record provides information such as major revisions, versions and whether a redline edition is available.
Once the Library has purchased a standard or code, you can access it from the Techstreet Enterprise dashboard. The dashboard is the first page you see when you log in.
