Business and Economics Library

Reference USA is a powerful business directory with data on over 13 million domestic and 3 million international companies.  But there’s considerable overlap with Hoover’s and LexisNexis.  We’re considering dropping Reference USA to help fund new acquisitions, in particular a new database of more in-depth company information: Bureau van Dijk’s MintGlobal.

If you don’t like the idea of losing access to Reference USA, please email Lety (leticia_camacho@byu.edu) or Andy (andy_spackman@byu.edu) and let us know.

BYU has been ranked for ten years running as the nation’s number one stone-cold sober school by the Princeton Review, a survey of student opinions.  But BYU also consistently places in the top five for Best College Library, and this year we’ve come in third, after Harvard and Princeton.
