"With the AWS Academic Access collection,
I no longer have to worry about purchasing
the most recent editions of documents or the hassle of storing a large number of books.
Students and instructors have instant access
to the most recent editions from the entire
AWS library at an affordable rate.

to be a great resource."

"The AWS Academic Access service has been a wonderful addition to the Welding Engineering program at Ohio State. In particular, it recently allowed us to teach a new welding procedure development and qualification course that required students to have access to numerous AWS standards, including D1.1, B2.1, and the Welding Handbooks. Multiple Welding Engineering faculty are now using this service to augment their courses, and both faculty and students have reported that the service is very easy to use."

"The online content really facilitates everything. Students no longer wait for printed books to become available. Also our cost has gone down tremendously. We don't have to replace worn out publications or pay for the new editions."
