This document discusses how to find physical and thermodynamic property data for chemical substances from various sources. It explains that such data is important for chemists and engineers. It describes how data is compiled from original research articles into print and electronic sources, but that no single source contains all known properties. It provides examples of print and electronic sources like NIST Chemistry WebBook and Scifinder Scholar to search for specific property data. It emphasizes that multiple sources may need to be checked to find data for uncommon substances.
