Most of the standards in the Cooper Library collection have been issued by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), or affiliated organizations. Standards are located on the 5th floor, call number TA368 .A512. They are filed in alpha-numeric order, first by the name of the issuing organization, and then by the number. (i.e. ansi Z 49.0 and ANSI/ISA-S84). Unfortunately, individual standards are NOT listed in the Library catalog.
