Whether you are looking for the address of a long-lost friend, the name of a corporation’s CEO, or all the restaurants within a certain zip code, the ReferenceUSA database can help.
ReferenceUSA provides directory information for 14 million U.S. businesses and 135 million U.S. households. Search by name, address, phone number, company name, brand, industry, state, county, city, zip code, and other special selections. Details on businesses include toll free and fax numbers, Web address, sales volume, number of employees, ticker symbols, and owner/executive names and biographies. Use the Custom or Guided Search features to create and save customized lists.
Entrepreneurs can use ReferenceUSA to conduct market research by selecting a location and looking up the number of similar businesses in the area, then checking the competition with years in business and credit rating data. Use the residential database to compile mailing lists.
Job Seekers can research industries and companies, find executives, corporate families, and company descriptions. Find companies that don’t advertise their openings. Send personalized inquiries instead of blanket resumes.
Consumers can find corporate headquarters and executive names, toll-free and fax numbers, schools, childcare, and local businesses by zip code. Use the residential database to find friends and relatives.
Researchers can compile data summaries to profile an entire neighborhood, city, or state by type of business, size of business or household median income.
ReferenceUSA is available at all Library locations and from computers anywhere to Austin Public Library cardholders. Search from your home or your office!
To find out more call telephone reference at 512-974-7400 or stop by any APL location.
