The codification was just being completed when I started my MAS program back in 2009. My professors referred to it often during lectures and we were given free access to the codified standards to use as we saw fit. I also took a class specifically on conducting research using the codified standards. It was nice getting a refresher on how everything is labeled within that structure. I'm actually going to talk to my boss about getting my employer to pay for access to the standards. Lynn was wonderful and I was thoroughly impressed by her knowledge of the codified standards.
