June 2007 Tip of the Month

ReferenceUSA is a useful resource for residential and business phone numbers and may serve as an alternative to Web sites such as AnyWho.com. Reference USA provides phone listings for 210 million U.S. residents and 14 million businesses. It allows you to search for companies by location, industry, number of employees, sales volume, and many other criteria. The database not only provides directory information for companies but other valuable information, such as contact names, SIC codes, and much more. ReferenceUSA is available from the Ball State University Libraries Databases page which makes more than 150 databases available to Ball State faculty, staff, and students.
