Ei Engineering Village - Ei Village offers a well structured "BibTex" format and an ASCII format.
BibTeX export
 
03/28/2008
Notes: Avoid BibTex format for mixed-database downloads as the same field tag can be applied to non-equivalent fields. BibTex also has a very limited set of fields.
 
Ei Compendex
 
02/15/2011
Notes: **Requires VPv7.0 Minimum. Also requires that the HTMLCharacterEntityCodes-FR.the resource file exist in the same directory as your EiVillage-Compendex.conf file. The HTMLCharacterEntityCodes-FR.the file is available from the "Utility Modules" section near the bottom of this page.
