CIA's Sourcerer spells it like it is
15 Jan 2000
Information about UK chemical products and suppliers is available on the Internet from the Chemical Industries Association (CIA) electronic product directory, known as Sourcerer.
Sourcerer offers visitors a `fast and cost effective way' of obtaining accurate information about chemicals offered by UK manufacturers, claims the CIA.
The data on Sourcerer is drawn directly from the directory that the CIAalso publishes about industrial products and suppliers.
The site, which was set up with financial help from the Department of Trade & Industry under the Export Challenge Initiative, contains information about 36 000 products from 3500 companies.
`That makes it the only comprehensive source of chemical products for the UK on the world wide web,' the CIA claims. Sourcerer's URL is http://www.sourcerer.co.uk
