IEL upgrade

An upgrade of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library was successfully completed on Friday, 9 February.
As a result of this upgrade, the display of standards in the IEEE Xplore
digital library has been significantly enhanced with:
* An improved navigation to help you find standards faster
* 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* Clearer distinction between active, archived and superseded standards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 users up-to-date on
standards revisions
* And the inclusion of links to standards interpretations, errata and
other related documents

Please note that the following release features will be loaded and
available within the next two weeks:
* The option to search standards by status (i.e. active, draft,
archived)
* The inclusion of the 2007 National Electrical Safety Code (NESC)
which will be full-text accessible to IEL subscribers at no additional
cost
