British Standards access

[Tile Shop]

Manchester Library have blocked access so there's another way through Glasgow. No need to create an account..... at the moment.

Follow this link:
Research 24/7 - libcat.csglasgow.org - https://libcat.csglasgow.org/web/arena/research-24/7

And under Online Resources, click on British Standards...... and you're in. Simplez.

Cheers Paul,
As we’ve been continually posting that it’s available for free, and just in case we have helped get these standards blocked, this is now in the Arms.
Please do not broadcast it in open forums.
Paul’s running out of libraries.

Why would they block access? Surely the point of a library is to access knowledge for free?

Maybe it’s BS themselves, egged on by the likes of the tta, not that I think the forum is that much of a thorn in their side of course, but then I wouldn’t be that surprised either.
Just seems odd that as soon as we find it, 6 months later, it’s gone.

I think it is something to do with copyright, hence why they are saying they need to be accessed through their Business and Intellectual Property Centre....... which you can't sign up to online. Several other Libraries will only allow access in the same way.

I think that BSI have looked into how access is given to the general public and restricted it, cuz if anyone can access them for free, how would they ever be able to justify charging extortionate amounts for each Standard?

Jury’s definitely out on the Avatar tho!

Twisty from American Horror Story..... "he's a good clown".

TBH only put it on as a test to see if you could have animated gif's as an avatar. If it offends anyone I'll change it to something christmasy, seeing as it is that time of year again.

But a serial killing clown has gotta be better than a bald assassin with a pair of 1911's..... hasn't it?

I actually got quite used to it personally and found it very easy to spot when trolling!

There's a stack of torrents online anyway! ..

Thanks. I have these versions, alas all but one are out of date. Doubt they're much use byut if anyone wants any message me with an email address and I'll send it to you.

Google hammers contentless pages. So it's to help with that. We had lots of pages with people just saying thanks.

I suppose it could be disabled for the arms. But then it could confuse people easy. Best just to get them used to it.

Thanks for the bump by the way.

Great thread. Thank you Paul

Just a quick reminder to not circumvent the minimum word count by repeating words. If it's too short for a sentence, a click of a like will probably suffice.
