1. Did You Know IHS offers Custom Collections?

If you currently are using a pay-per-view service to supplement your need for a variety of documents, from various Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), then IHS Custom Collections are just right for you. IHS is currently able to deliver Custom Collections to our clients via Specs & Standards 3.0. Clients can decide which documents to include in their custom subscription with the same access, features, and functionality as a regular Specs & Standards collection.

Global Engineering Documents, the retail arm of IHS, can also deliver Custom Collections to clients - behind their firewall. Contact your IHS Representative to learn more about IHS Custom Collections.

 


2. AV-DATA Survey: Tell Us What You Think

We are asking for some of your valuable time. Do you want to be heard? Because we want to hear from you! By participating in this survey you will be actively involved in the future development of this product. The survey will be conducted through September 26, 2003. At the end of this time all survey results and comments will be compiled and presented to you, the AV-DATA product user, so you can also hear what your counterparts think. Those who participate in the survey will have their company automatically entered in a drawing for a chance to win an AV-DATA subscription free for a year. The drawing will be held on September 29, 2003.
