INTRODUCTIONThis bibliography is not meant to be an exhaustive list - but rather a guide to areas in Reference Collection to both electronic and some paper major sources. This also includes a number of websites where information about the chemical engineering may be found. (Note that unless otherwise stated, if you are off campus, this material is available only to current UMD students, faculty, and staff.) It also, indirectly, will give you an idea where materials about chemical engineering can be found in the various circulating collections in the Library.
There is no National Engineering Library building but a virtual library. The Chemical Engineering section of it is at http://www.che.ufl.edu/www-che/. Anyone may look at this website.
If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to stop by my office, Library 278, call me at 726-8586 or e-mail me, Pam Enrici, Engineering Librarian.
ACS Journals - electronic access
