This undergraduate level research guide includes research methods plus lists to commonly used databases and reference materials. It also includes information to help students locate books and journals. Site-licensed software, useful web sites, and links to key lab safety resources are also included. The goal of this guide is to provide foundational support to the broad array of chemical engineering course assignments and to help foster information literacy skills.

This graduate level research guide includes a list of key databases and reference works, RSS feeds to new articles in selected journals, saved subject searches for finding books in the library catalog, plus more. The goal is to provide "one-stop" shopping for commonly accessed resources. Stanford's ChE program has three focal points - biotechnology, energy, and nanotechnology - so resources selected cover these areas. Chemical lab safety resources are also included in this guide.
