Special usage notes:

Searching
The basic search includes simple keyword as well as phrase searches. Unlimited Boolean searching with wildcard truncation, phrase matching and other features is also available. Search results are navigable via tables of contents. Tabular databases and books can be searched simultaneously.

The advanced search guides you through steps to combine keywords with properties data (both textual and in numerical ranges) as well as chemical structures on some databases.

Knovel Productivity Tools
To manipulate, analyze, and export the data:

• Customize data in tables as you would in an Excel spreadsheet
• Extract data from tables built on equations and plot graphs using the coefficients
• Use digitized graphs to capture coordinates
• Plot graphs from raw data to compare variables and perform 'what if' experiments
• Draw and search chemical structures
• View and perform calculations on Spectra and on Phase Diagrams
