Donations from XPS Instrument Manufacturers – Worldwide?    $500-1,000/year

This website is designed to educate, train, and support new XPS users as well as experienced XPS users.  The principle users are university students, graduate students, post-doctorates, young professors, and expert professors.  Industry users are also using this website and are also being asked for a very small yearly donation.

The training provided by this website will supplement the XPS science training, software training, and instrument training supplied by each XPS instrument manufacturer.  This online training will relieve some of the demand for XPS technology training from instrument owners.

Professors and universities around the world who use many different XPS instruments will look to The XPS Library Institute – NFP as a centralized source of training and information 24 hours everyday.

Please contact bvcrist @ xpslibrary.com to discuss how you can donate or support this international website, and also your many instrument customers who very likely use this website.

In response to your kind and generous donations, your support will be clearly acknowledged and a modest advertising space will be provided.

 

Donations requested from XPS Instrument Manufacturers – Worldwide?    $500-1,000/year

Please help us to help your current users, and your future customers!

The XPS Library does not sell any products and relies on Donations and hopefully grant money to continue providing useful information and guidance to students and professors.
