New procedure to open a standard:
(A) You will need to set up an individual login to SAI Global. This is in addition to the Library log in. This means you will need to use your individual log in each time you want to access a Standard, once you have opened the site from the Library link.
(B) Once a Standard is selected, a verification code will be sent to your nominated e-mail account. Remember to check your junk e-mail folder as the HSS server appears to be blocking this type of e-mail
(C) To view the Standard, you will need to have an Adobe reader plug in. If you cannot open the Standard, you will need to contact your IT and ask to have the plug in installed
