The collection of selected papers is split between those papers presented at the "national" meetings (usually two or three per year) and the "annual" meetings (one per year). Papers that have been microfiched are held by the library. Unfortunately, the microfiche are not in order by paper number. It is therefore essential to go to the specific meeting's Program to learn the microfiche number for the paper in question.

    For papers not on microfiche, the paper may have been published elsewhere as a journal article or a conference paper or it may not have been published at all.
  • Many AIChE papers are published in the AIChe Symposium Series or in journals and conference proceedings.  Search the GT Catalog (GIL) for the Symposium Series, proceedings or journal titles.
