[MSE-XRD-Admin] FW: Researcher access to Powder Diffraction File

[Patricia Metcalf]

Hello Jeremy,
We do not allow free access to the powder diffraction files.  If an
individual wishes to undergo the training to become an approved user,
they can then gain access using a Coral account.  They will still pay
the $65/hour non-department fee even for access to just use the database.

(The Libraries does not provide access to this database.)  Do you still have access to the database and can I direct an MSE graduate student to you?  Are you still located in MSEE?
