Encyclopedia on CD-ROM

Long considered by engineering librarians as a required desk reference, Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry now appears on CDROM. For the first time, educators and students can access the 37-volume set's 1,000 articles, 10,000 tables, and 20,000 figures with a simple click of their mouse. Completely revised, volumes A1-28 concentrate on key topics in industrial chemistry, from chemicals to product groups to production processes. Volumes B1-8 cover chemical engineering, featuring articles on basic principles, new analytical methods, and environmental protection strategies. The cumulative index makes finding information and relevant technical illustrations easy.

Fully compatible with Microsoft Windows 95, the CD-ROM incorporates a powerful search engine and features an easy-to-use, clear screen design format.
