Company Directories
Company directories
are list creation tools. Use directories to locate customers, competitors,
or employers by type of business, size or location. Directories can also
be used to identify corporate affiliation - parents, subsidiaries, divisions,
and branches. For help, contact J. Michael
Davis, Business Librarian, jmdavis@library.umass.edu.
