Totally disagree -- you can't find information like "stay away from company X, their equipment is unreliable" in a library database, nor you can find "don't waste $1000 on this software, there's freely redistributable code that works just as well". Helping new lab leaders become informed consumers of research equipment seems like a great role for the auditory mailing list. --john lazzaro
