This guide covers the key crystallographic information resources available to UC San Diego researchers and students, answering common questions like:

How can I access CSD / Cambridge Structural Database, and do I have to install software to use it?
Does the Library have the Powder Diffraction File?
I have to locate XRD data for a compound with a JCPDS number.
I found my compound in SpringerMaterials, but I can't download any files.
How can I search for crystallographic information in databases like SciFinder and Reaxys?
Where are the crystallography books in the Library?
What software can I use to visualize or print my own structures?

3D models, exported from Mercury (CSD) and printed in the Digital Media Lab.

These resources are restricted to UC San Diego faculty, staff and students. Use the AnyConnect VPN Client for off campus access, with the group setting on 2 Step Secured - althruucsd (Duo Two-Step required). On campus, use the UCSD-Protected wifi network.
