----------------------------Original message---------------------------- We have had a request from some of our students for access to the Materials Connexion database. Apparently and annual student membership runs $85 and an academic membership is $3000. My understanding is that at present the database at least on the web is only 20% complete. I wonder if anyone has experience with this and can provide any information to help us evaluate how useful this would be.
