        <![CDATA[<p>I have had 2 questions about the Cambridge Structural Database (as a source of crystal structure data) this week so I thought I'd pass along what I know about it. The Chemistry Department's X-ray Crystallography Lab has a license, and people can contact Victor Young (http://www.chem.umn.edu/services/xraylab/) for more information. I am talking to him about partnering on a site-wide license so this may change in the future, but for now, send U of M people there if they want access to crystal structure information.</p>]]>
