Seven Years of EBN on Updated CD

Version 4.0 of the popular E Build Library CD-ROM is now in production, with copies expected to ship starting in early May. The comprehensive archive features all 57 back issues of

Environmental Building News from the first, in 1992, through 1999. The text is fully searchable using Adobe Acrobat® text search or via hotlinks from the detailed cumulative index, which has more than 7,000 entries.

In the update, the products section has been revamped, adding separate detail pages with updated contact information for companies whose products have been covered in the newsletter. (These products represent about one third of those listed in our

GreenSpec Directory, and some other products that were covered in the newsletter but have not been approved for

GreenSpec.) The company pages are linked directly from the articles in which the products are mentioned, as well as from three product indices: by product name, company name, and CSI division.

An added feature in version 4.0 is a listing of all of the checklists that have been published in conjunction with feature articles over the years. For quick reference, each of the checklists is available with a single click from the master list.

The

E Build Library costs $95 for

EBN subscribers ($149 for others). Upgrades from prior versions cost $37 for

EBN subscribers ($79 for others). The CD is compatible with Windows®, Macintosh™, and Unix operating systems. A free copy of Acrobat Reader 4.0 is included on the disc. For more information or to order the CD-ROM by phone, call us at 800/861-0954, extension 109, or visit us at buildinggreen.com for secure online ordering.
