To begin, create an account using your @mines.edu email. After creating an account, you can "Request Access" to any standard. Library staff will evaluate the request and choose to fill it or not, depending on availability, cost, demand, budget, etc.
Each standard varies in cost, and access is only granted through 12/29/2025 upon approval. We will limit requests to no more than 3 standards per user and no standards over $600. Once a standard is approved, anyone at Mines can access it (although only one user can access it at a time). Since access is temporary, we recommend downloading a copy of the standard for later use.
