Mary Jane, ANSI/IPC-SM-817 is still used as a reference for the adhesives used to bond surface mount components to the board during the assembly and soldering operation. J-STD-001CS covers the basic requirements for adhesive bonding of components for protection against vibration and shock. This is a Space Applications document, so the bonding requirements may be more (or less) rigorous than your application requires. Keep in mind that adhesive bonding (staking) is application specific - what worked in the last design might make things worse in the next design. J-STD-001CS is available as a free download from the IPC website. IPC-CC-830B has some useful information about the various materials that can be used for adhesive bonding, even though it is primarily for conformal coatings. IPC-2221A has some additional info.
