Chemical Prices
A Brief Guide To Finding Chemical and Petroleum Prices and Other Statistical Information

Chemical Price Coverage
An update to Chemical Market Reporter, now ICIS, and the decline of chemical pricing information.
For background on this issue, visit the SciTech Library Question blog.
ICIS has provided a static list of about 80 chemicals.
This broad list of chemical prices is taken from the 28 August 2006 issue of Chemical Market Reporter (now rebranded and incorporated into ICIS Chemical Business). The list consists of static price indications from that issue. Products marked with an asterisk (*) have been updated to give indicative prices for 2007. The posted prices do not necessarily represent levels at which transactions may have actually occurred, nor do they represent bid or asked prices. Price ranges may represent quotations from different suppliers, as well as differences in quantity, quality and location. The prices are intended as a guide and not to be used as a basis for negotiations between producers and customers.
For further questions about chemical pricing information, contact Jeanine Williamson, Engineering Librarian, jwilliamson@utk.edu

IEEE Upgrade
The new IEEE Xplore 2.0 will launch on Saturday, 26 March 2005, and will provide full-text searching of all content, along with numerous additional search enhancements.
As seen in our recent beta preview, the upgraded IEEE Xplore 2.0 system will also include a more functional design, reorganized help content,
clearer identification of which documents users may access, and new
"homepages" for all IEEE periodicals.
To accommodate the launch of IEEE Xplore 2.0, the site will not be
available on 26 March, beginning at 8am EST (UTC -5) and lasting approximately 8 to 14 hours.

Energy Statistics Resources
Energy Information Administration
The Energy Information Administration (EIA), created by Congress in 1977, is a statistical agency of the U.S. Department of Energy. We provide policy-independent data, forecasts, and analyses to promote sound policy making, efficient markets, and public understanding regarding energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.
Also, a librarian at University of Alberta has created a guide for Chemical and Petroleum Industry: Statistics, Prices, and Production
