Chemistry and chemical engineering databases

chemistry and chemical engineering are distinct in how they accomplish a task.  This image shows a chemistry distillation setup done on a small scale with typical glassware and contrasts it to a chemical engineering distillery which is a large industrial apparatus of interworking mechanical parts to control large scale variables.

Databases index the primary literature to help you distill the information you want to browse from all the other sources out there.  Some databases index sources that others do not, which is why you should explore multiple areas to gather a wholistic perspective of the topic.
