seek EIA-909 spec and references

I am working on school project on this EIA-909.
How can I read some of the spec?
Any design references I can research? Thank you.
 
Hello Andraw,

These standards are mostly under strong copyright protection and must be
purchased. Unfortunately they can be quite expensive. I had to shell out
more than $200 for my set of the IEC-601.

However, you may be able to obtain a copy for a while through your
library. It is unlikely that they have it unless it is a huge university
library but they may be able to request one.

You do charge it to the client, you understand; you _don't_ part
with it at the end of the job -- look at how many books/journals/
specs you used for the job without charging the client a penny.

No, I don't do that. If I have to buy it just for that one consulting
assignment I'd tell the client that they will be billed for it. But then
it's their copy after I am done. Stuff like IEC is my daily bread so
that is just part of my overhead of doing business. IOW, I buy it and it
stays here. In your contracts you could try to include a 'standards
maintenance surcharge' like my CPA bills a 'computer surcharge'. But I
guess in our market that won't fly.

That depends on your agreement with the client. Some have in the
contract that they want everything that they specifically paid for.
Some actually mean it.

I do not need to have the exact copy. All I need to read is the contents and
what I can use as references to my documentation. Can you please tell me
which library may have this in San Francisco Bay area? I have checked and
found none so far. Thank you very much.
 
Joerg, I have been to Stanford engineering library. However, to check out
reference material (not on shelf), I need Stanford student card which I do
not have.

Since I live near Sacramento I am not so familiar with S.F. but my first
trip would probably be to Stanford. You need to have the exact title,
year and ISBN number which you should be able to obtain from EIA. Then
they can look it up on their network to see whether they can order it
from another library. Universities can usually get their hands on almost
anything that was ever published.

Thanks Joerg. None of any Silicon Valley & SF public libraries has any EIA
spec.
 
Which library? Can I check if they have EIA specs? Thanks so much.

My University alumni card allows me access to university and corporate
libraries. Could that work for you?

Check to see if they've renumbered the standard in the ANSI catalog.

You should be able to search for keyword at the EIA/TIA site or the
ANSI site. www.eia.org and www.ansi.org, last I checked. To see what
the real name is.

There's also the company that's the sole? distributor,
Global Engineering Documents(?).
