Search Through 7,000 Codes Online With Latest eLibrary

February 25, 2009
MADCAD.com v3.0 offers new search and filter systems to help find relevant publishers, books and sections faster than ever.

MADCAD.com will launch its eLibrary v3.0 March 2. MADCAD is an online resource where subscribers can search across thousands of codes and standards instantly.

“We don’t sell books, and we don’t sell PDFs of books,” CEO Pelin Atasoy explained In the announcement. “We provide real-time, subscription-based access to the codes and standards information from ASHRAE, ASTM, ICC, NFPA and others. From any web browser ― even on the iPhone, ― you can search our entire code database of over 7,000 books. In less than a second, you know what books have the regulations you need, and with one more click you can jump into relevant code sections to read full-book content.”

This latest version of MADCAD.com makes it easy to browse codes with web-based (HTML) features:
    - chapters, sections and figures cross-referenced and linked
    - linked table of contents and errata
    - ability to copy and paste relevant excerpts and tables into reports
Personal Book Groups lets users organize books as desired, such as all the applicable books for a current project. MADCAD.com v3.0 also incorporates a new database with adopted model codes by states and state amendments, and a database of more than 10,000 product manufacturer’s Web site links organized by CSI’s MasterFormat.

MADCAD.com offers a simple and flexible subscription system to access thousands of codes and standards. Subscribers can pick and choose any books to create a custom subscription package, or choose from discounted packages. Pricing is based on the number of concurrent users or locations within an organization, depending on the publisher. Subscribers can also create custom packages with different concurrency levels on different books.

For more Information, visit www.MADCAD.com.
