New Develtopments In Chemical Engineering

In summary, the individual is seeking information on developments in Chemical Engineering for an upcoming interview. They have encountered difficulties obtaining this information due to the need for a subscription and payment for articles. They ask for recommendations on websites that offer free access to developments in Chemical Engineering. Another individual suggests visiting a University library, even if not currently enrolled, as they may have access to current journals through taxpayer funding.

Need some help here.

I'm going for an interview for Chemical Engineering and I'd like to get some detailed info on what's happening in Chemical Engineering. I've looked at Chem Eng journals for developments and here's where the problem is. I have to subscribe since I'm not actually an engineer- money which I don't have, other places also include articles I have to pay for separately.
Have any of you got any websites that has developments...that are free?

Much thanks in advance

Go to the nearest University library - preferably one that offers Chem Eng degrees. They'll have the most current journals, especially if they have good research programs in-house.

You don't necessarily have to be attending a University to access their libraries and read articles in their periodicals rooms. State colleges are funded in part with taxpayer money and you should be able to get some level of access to their periodicals.
