Create Company Lists with Business Databases
Pardee Library has several databases for creating lists of companies by industry and geographic location. Two examples would be Data Axle Reference Solutions (formerly Reference USA) and the Company Dossier database in Nexis Uni. These databases can be very helpful when you need to create a list of targeted companies for your job search or when you want to identify local competitors for your course projects. Data Axle is a U.S. company directory database that currently contains 63 million business listings. The Company Dossier database in Nexis Uni provides both U.S. and international company listings. Pardee librarians have also prepared online tutorials for these databases.
If you have any questions or need help searching these databases, please contact us at pardstf@bu.edu.
