Locating Technical Documents

Locating technical documents--standards, codes, patents, trademarks, handbooks, and more--is often a challenge.

  • There is no single place where all technical documents can be searched for and located.
  • They are produced by a wide variety of organizations, corporations, and government agencies.
  • Sometimes they're available freely online, but often they are only available on a proprietary database, or for a fee from a company.

We've done our best to gather the most likely sources for standards and technical documents here, but if you are struggling to find a document you need, please contact the Engineering Librarian, Nicole, at gustavsen@gonzaga.edu.
