Encyclopedias (chemistry)
From WolfWikis
A list of chemistry-specific encyclopedias available at the NCSU Libraries. Encyclopedias are useful to get overviews of a topic. A chemistry encyclopedia in particular can give you background from the perspective of chemists in research or industry. General encyclopedias such as Wikipedia or Britannica will generally not have the same depth for these topics.
Available online or in print reference.
