Online resources

This Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology guide references electronic resources across a wide range of subjects. For those needing to explore associated subject database guides, the Chemistry Library offers a useful list of chemistry databases, the Biological Sciences Libraries cover useful biochemistry and pharmacology databases, and the Technology Libraries provide a list of general technology resources (the Technology Libraries resources include useful links to eBook packages, databases, journals and proceedings, patents, standards, preprints, theses and dissertations). 

Standards

Standards gives the assurance of quality and reliability (safety) as well as enables business sustainability through interoperability.

You can find standards online and learn more about them on the Standards LibGuide website.

Patents

A patent protects your invention and lets you take legal action against anyone who makes, uses, sells or imports your invention without your permission.

You can find patents online and learn more about them on the Patents LibGuide website.

Databases

Note: For chemical engineering and biotechnology databases, please apply filters in subject search field.
