PCB designer/ Librarian/ CAD support.   I think your idea will help.  I
looked around their site and did not find the membership fee area (didn't
look REAL hard though).  What I remembered was that it was ~$1k, beyond my
means.  I will probably join with my next paycheck.

I would also like to go through the PCB Designer Certification, but the
dates and locations for the rest of the year will not work for me.  Does
anyone know when IPC will come out with next years schedule?

                I might be able to help....
                What is your job function?

                here's an idea:
                Join the IPC Designer's Council for $50, at
                http://dc.ipc.org/DCmembership/memhome.htm
                they will give you a $50 coupon to apply to your purchase.

                If you are responsible for CAD libraries:
                use your coupon to buy IPC-SM-782
                A good library is crucial!

                If you have a library and/or a librarian:
                use your coupon to buy IPC-2221

                just my personal opinion of course

                best wishes,
                Jack

                Subject: [TN] Check out IPC  specifications

                I just printed the IPC specification tree and there are a
whole bunch of
                the specifications which I would like to read.  After
reading them, I will
                know which ones pertain directly to my job function and
which ones I think
                pertain indirectly to my job function.  Ideally, the
company that I work
                for, would purchase the specifications.  As of now it
appears that if I
                want them, I will have to purchase them myself.

                The main specifications I am interested in are the design
and
                PCB/acceptance ones.  Is there a library which I can check
ISO
                specifications out from?  If not, what is the least
expensive means to get
                a hold of them?  The

                Bret
