Abstract
A description of Chem Systems as a chemical engineering consultancy and its general information requirements is given. The background to the purchase of INMAGIC software and its initial applications is then provided. Alternative uses of this software have been made and a number of non-typical infor mation databases have been created. These include a file detailing multi-client titles and their purchasers, a file contain ing the names and addresses of contacts (glorified mailing list) and files containing CV type information for existing staff and external consultants. Some indication is made of uses to which these files have been put. Finally, some comments regarding how an information scientist became involved in organizing these files are presented.
