- Log into
a business and news database, using this link or the UA catalog.
- On the search screen, select Source and type ICIS in the textbox. Select ICIS Chemical Business from the dropdown.
- In the textbox box to enter search terms, type the name of your chemical followed by "AND uses AND pric* AND outlook". Capitalizing AND is important. Using benzene as an example gives the search string:
