Chemistry & Chemical Engineering Subset of Knovel Now Live

The USC Libraries new subscription to the Chemistry and Chemical Engineering subset of the Knovel electronic handbooks collection is now live!

  • The collection includes fulltext searchable ebooks in these disciplines.
  • Chapters are available in PDF.
  • The company recommends Internet Explorer as the browser, but it is working well for some with Firefox.

The subscription includes the AICHe (Amer. Inst. Chem. Engineers) and CCPS (Chemical Process Safety) collection, as well as a number of handbooks the complete list of these texts, along with a *description* of each, can be found in the Excel file posted here:

You will want to select the "My Subscription" option when in Knovel, and remember, you must be at a USC computer or authenticated by the proxy server to access remotely.
