If a college or university library is nearby, you may find directories in their main library, business department library or the placement office. Go to your local library and tell them what you are looking for and ask for advice. They can refer you to the closest and largest source. That depends on your needs, career field, willingness to relocate and any number of other personal issues. In the Business directories section, you will find a list of possible directories you may find in many local libraries.
Directories contain varying amounts of information also.
If the source for this directory is the Yellow Pages, you may find only a company name, address and phone. Other directories include owners, key officers, sales, banking, employment and product informa- tion. Local, regional or state. Each produces a directory or membership list. They usually have to be purchased for a nominal fee or they may be available in the local library.
