Using the 9th Edition
To find the latest requirement in the base volume: Find the topic in the International Building Code (IBC) 2015. Check the 9th Edition Base Volume for information on that topic. For example, after (1st) looking in the IBC for high-rise elevator requirements in Chapter 4, section 403.6 and (2nd) checking the 8th Edition Base Volume (August 2010) Massachusetts Amendments version to find that it has been amended, you'll notice (3rd) that it has been further amended recently under "Amendments since August 2010" for section 403.6.1.
