This is a subscription-based resource that you may be able to access through your local library. To see if your library subscribes, search for Reference Solutions (formerly ReferenceUSA), Data Axle’s product for libraries, on your library’s website.

Here are some general tips that may help you find Data Axle on your local library’s website:

First, go to your library’s website.

Navigate to tabs like “Research”, “Digital Resources”, or “Databases.” If the digital resources are sorted by topic, select the topic called something like “Business.”

Once you access your business-related digital resources, search for the title “Reference Solutions” (it may also appear as “ReferenceUSA”.) Then follow your library’s instructions to open Reference Solutions. You will likely need to enter your library card number.

If you can’t find this resource at your local library, check your state-level library system to see if it’s still available to you.
