Great 18-min AskAway Session with a BCIT Instructor  (May 24th, 2022)
BCIT Instructor: Hi – I’m looking for an ISO standard, ISO XXXXX:2018 in particular. Does the BCIT library have this?
BCIT Librarian: Welcome to Ask Away. Let me see if we have access. Is this for a class, or for your research?
BCIT Instructor: for a class and research. I am an instructor
BCIT Librarian: Good to know!   If you go to the library home page there is link to our e-Resource Collection, It takes you to our A-Z listing of electronic resources/databases/articles/standards https://libguides.bcit.ca/az.php
If you click the All Database Types dropdown list… you can select Codes & Standards
we have several code sources. CSA Online usually has any of the ISO equivalents.
Are you familiar with CSA?
BCIT Instructor: I’m not. I will look at this database
BCIT Librarian: Let me try, just click the link.. then enter the iso number
Are you looking for: Standard… – Guidelines (Adopted ISO XXXXX:2018, second edition, 2018-02)
BCIT Instructor: yes I am. Yes, I have it. Thanks so much!!
BCIT Librarian: If you want, there is a ‘copy this transcript’ button in the chat to save the session text with instructions
BCIT Instructor: yes, i did. Thanks, this is very helpful.
BCIT Librarian: You’re very welcome! Thank you for using AskAway.
We hope you visit us again. Okay. Have a great evening.
