ECA Launches Digital Library with More Than 300 Technical Papers.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA) has launched a digital library that contains more than 300 technical papers taken from proceedings of recent CARTS and ECTC conferences. The library is easily accessed through the ECA Resource Central web site: www.ec-central.org.

The new digital library enables visitors to search for individual conference papers by event name, title and keyword. Papers can be purchased as PDFs on the site and downloaded immediately for $10 each for ECA members and $20 each for non-members. During the coming months, the library is expected to double in size and include papers from additional CARTS and ECTC events, the annual relay and switch forum (IRSTC), and the wire and cable symposium (IWCS).

"The new digital library and e-store is like Amazon.com for electronic component technical papers," says Bob Willis. "We're providing one-stop shopping that enables professionals to obtain vetted technical papers from the top experts in their fields. It's a valuable service to the industry and our members."
