An upgrade of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library is scheduled for Saturday, 10 February. There is no scheduled downtime for IEEE Xplore but users may experience a brief period of intermittent access disruption on the 10th.

As a result of this upgrade, the display of standards in the IEEE Xplore digital library will be significantly enhanced with:

• An improved navigation to help you find standards faster
• The inclusion of the 2007 National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) which will be full-text accessible to IEL subscribers at no additional cost
• The ability to search and browse over 500 draft standards in IEEE Xplore (to access the full-text of draft standards, the purchase of an add-on drafts package will be required)
• Clearer distinction between active, archived and superseded standards
• Availability of standards email alerts to keep you up-to-date on standards revisions
• The option to search standards by status (i.e. active, draft, archived)
• And the inclusion of links to standards interpretations, errata and other related documents
