Introduction
The Corporate Database houses all of the components that are stocked in the Maker-E. If you are looking to add parts from the Maker-E to your circuit you will need to add this database. Please note that in order to access the corporate database you must either be on Bucknell's campus or connected remotely via VPN.

It is a long term goal to get all of the Makerstock components into the corporate database. Alas, we are not there yet.
Regarding components in the wrong families, send me a list of issues and I can make those corrections. Actually - as faculty you have write access to the corporate database (it lives on the Elec netspace drive) so feel free to move things as you see fit!
