Eastern Monroe Public Library

Remote Access to Reference USA Now Available

Reference USA, a proprietary database of virtually all U.S. and Canadian businesses and residents, is now available remotely with an Eastern Monroe Public Library card. This database contains information compiled from the following public sources: more than 5,600 Yellow Page and Business White Page telephone directories; annual reports, 10-Ks and other SEC information; Continuing Medical Education (CME) directories; federal, state, provincial and municipal government data; Chamber of Commerce information; leading business magazines, trade publications, newsletters, major newspapers, industry and specialty directories; and postal service information, including both U.S. and Canadian National Change of Address updates. Phone calls are made by 250 employees to verify the information on each business and health care provider in the database. Seventeen million phone calls are made each year, and businesses with 100 or more employees are phone-verified at least twice a year. See the remote databases page.
