Chemical Engineering and the Library
This is a guide to selected sources of informationfor CHE 351/352 and graduate students. To locate books on chemical engineering, go to the URI Libraries Search, select "subject" from the drop down box, and use terms like chemical engineering or applied chemistry. Similar searches in Reference Databases such as Compendex or American Chemical Society Web Editions will locate articles.
One type of resource that you should look for is a handbook; they contain practical information such as specifications, tolerances, equations, and properties of chemicals and thus are extremely useful. You can find handbooks simply by adding "handbook" in another search box in the URI Libraries Search.
