Where do you guys go to research products for a building? I've found that we're limited to either manufacturer's literature or paying for software like MasterSpec. Is there any netural source of information out there that I don't have to pay for?

Usually websites, via google it depends where do you build... But you can check it out seek.autodesk.com -
We have several sites here in Aust. that access to manufacturers and suppliers and their products can be gained via. I have found these fairly good to research through. An example is http://selector.com/au. The internet has certainly made researching and collation of technical data so much easier.
Apart from that is the technique of harvesting the exhibitor lists for the building and construction expos. Those lists always have website links. And the shows are always happening somewhere in the country.
And search for links on sites and organisations created by affiliated companies.

WOOT! Seems that http://selector.com/au. is a great one. This kind of sites definitely will help for me finishing last semester because we need for every material description and technical data. Maybe some1 else wants to share? Biff respect 4 you! And welcome to outsanding forum!Comment

http://www.arcat.com/ seems a good option for the US market.
