Can someone please point me to where I can get current component libraries?

The recomended source for the libraries is the Altium Content Vault (https://techdocs.altium.com/display/...Content+Vault). This is a large database of libraries published by Altium. It comes with very comprehensive metadata, including live links to suppliers that show current pricing and stock levels.

Well that's a well kept secret. Thanks for sharing that.

I didn't realize the vault application had to be downloaded separately.
Will it require a separate license, or is it included with the FIRST agreement?
Sincerely, thanks to all for the pointers!!

Download is in process, let's see where this leads!!

Between Eagle and KiCAD, I found KiCAD to be more suitable ... could just be me!

The Altium Content Vault isn't a seperate download. The instructions (https://techdocs.altium.com/display/...+Content+Vault) should be enough to show you how to install, setup and use the included libraries.

The main disadvantage is that it's all stored server-side so access speeds are not that fast (this is where they normaly make money, by charging for a local Vault).
