Reference USA
Free Online Source of Business and Market Information
The Escondido Public Library's Business Center offers free online research tools to library cardholders, including market research databases that would typically require a paid subscription costing hundreds of dollars. Some, including Reference USA, don't even require you to be at the Library - they are accessible from any computer with a Web connection. Analyze your competition, find a job, research executives and companies worldwide and find relevant news articles, all free of charge with an Escondido Public Library card. |
