The platform allows access to a wide range of materials including standards, regulatory, product and supplier information from various organisations around the world. IHS Markit contains a collection of databases including the Construction Information Service (CIS).\u00a0 This is a major database for anyone working in architecture, civil and structural engineering, building control officers, building services engineers and other areas within the construction industry. With over 20,000 documents from over 300 publishers this is an important database packed full of essential sources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"TextRun SCXW18918725 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW18918725 BCX8\">IHS Markit <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW18918725 BCX8\">platform and LibrarySearch<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Did you know that when you\u2019re searching for sources in LibrarySearch your results don\u2019t include items from the Construction Information Service or other IHS Markit products?

The library has a subscription to the IHS Markit platform so don\u2019t miss out on these great resources! Access is restricted to Edinburgh Napier University students and staff.
