Maybe I missed this when it first happened, but I recently saw that AASHTO’s Standard Specifications for Transportation Materials and Methods of Sampling and Testing is no longer being offered as a printed book but now is a web-based publication with a single year subscription fee. It can get pretty pricey for multi-user license. I’m sure it’s convenient, but if you are running an AASHTO accredited lab, you probably just have to bite the bullet. I wonder if all of their publications are going this way in the future? [Source: Check out the licensing options at the AASHTO Bookstore. Image: IPP Books]
