Ask an IPL Librarian
Have a question? Ask an IPL Librarian!
(Use our Contact Us form for questions/suggestions about our site.)
The Ask an IPL Librarian Reference Service will close between academic terms beginning December 20, 2008 at 10 p.m. (EST). We will reopen the service on Monday, January 5, 2008 at Noon (EST). We use this time to work behind the scenes to improve this service. Happy Holidays from all of us at the IPL!

Resources in this category:

About.Com: Chemical Engineering
http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemicalengineerin1/Chemical_E...
Compilation of resources for chemical engineers. Includes technical information, news, education, and job information.
History of Chemical Engineering & Chemical Technology
http://www.pafko.com/history//h_intro.html
Useful for non-chemists interested in the growth and development of chemical engineering as a profession. It includes a history of the industry, references to this century's contributions, a timeline of events, an extensive bibliography, and various special features and charts describing, for example, energy resources, nitrogen, growth of chemical engineering education and wages. Although not searchable, this resource has a useful table of contents and is easy to navigate. Appropriate resource for younger students.
IPCS Inchem
http://www.inchem.org/
"Authoritative information about the hazards of chemicals is essential if they are to be used safely. IPCS INCHEM consolidates a wide variety of information produced by a number of international bodies whose goal is to assist in the sound management of chemicals. IPCS INCHEM provides a means of rapid access to information on chemicals commonly used throughout the world, which may also occur as contaminants in the environment and food."
NIST Chemistry WebBook
http://webbook.nist.gov/
"The NIST WebBook will provide access to the full array of data compiled and distributed by NIST under the Standard Reference Data Program. The NIST Chemistry WebBook contains: Thermochemical data for over 6000 organic and small inorganic compounds; Enthalpy of formation; Enthalpy of combustion; Heat capacity;Entropy;Phase transition enthalpies and temperatures;Vapor pressure; Reaction thermochemistry data for over 9000 reactions;Enthalpy of reaction;Free energy of reaction;IR spectra for over 8700 compounds;Mass spectra for over 12,000 compounds;UV/Vis spectra for over 400 compounds;Electronic and vibrational spectra for over 4000 compounds; Constants of diatomic molecules (spectroscopic data) for over 600 compounds; Ion energetics data for over 16,000 compounds; Thermophysical property data for 33 fluids; You can search for data on specific compounds in the Chemistry WebBook based on name, chemical formula, CAS registry number, molecular weight, chemical structure, or selected ion energetics and spectral properties."

What is the IPL?

The Internet Public Library is a public library for the world wide web.
Students from a consortium of colleges and universities with programs in information science develop and maintain the IPL!
Here are some of the partners in the IPL Consortium. A complete list is found on the IPL Consortium page.

The iSchool at Drexel Florida State University College of Information University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science Rutgers School of Communication and Information Studies

University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science University of Pittsburgh School of Information Sciences Syracuse University School of Information The Information School - University Of Washington

The Internet Public Library is hosted by The iSchool at Drexel, College of Information Science and Technology,
with major support from the College of Information at Florida State University.
