Each week we will highlight one of the many databases we have here at the Pomerantz Business Library.

The database: ReferenceUSA

Where to find it: You can find it here, and under S in the databases A-Z list.

Use it to find:

• Directory information for 24 Million US Businesses
• Often includes Executive Name, Address, Phone Number, Sales Volume, Employee Size
• US Consumers/Lifestyle Database
• US Jobs/Internships Database

Tips for searching:

• Use the “Quick Search” to search by Company Name, Executive Name, City, State or Phone
• Use the “Custom Search” to build a more complex search.  Can refine by Business type (Industry Code / Group), Geography (Radius, County, Map Based Search, etc), Business Size, Ownership, and more

Demos: The following demo (from the University of Texas) shows how to make lists with ReferenceUSA:
