RefUSA is now Reference Solutions

RefUSA is a familiar name to many small business owners and entrepreneurs who have utilized its rich content and powerful data gathering resources to either start or grow a business. Now rebranded as Reference Solutions, the new name conveys the multifaceted uses of this database that can be helpful for the everyday information seeking needs of library users.

Have you ever wanted to find a new dentist or been in search of a plumber for home repairs but weren’t certain of results you found Googling? That’s where Reference Solutions comes in handy. There is an easily searchable U.S Healthcare database to locate medical professionals in your area or even if you need to help your parents who live in another state find the right doctor for their medical needs. The U.S. Businesses database is the ideal source to find a carpenter, electrician, or even a conveniently located dry cleaner or shoe repair shop in your neighborhood.

Reference Solutions also includes both U.S. and Canadian White Pages. Need a new job? Reference Solutions includes a U.S Jobs & Internships platform as well.

If you are a business owner and are looking to identify potential customers to market and sell to, stay tuned for a new virtual program the library will be offering as part of our winter programming in the coming months titled “Generating Sales Lists using Reference Solutions”.

To access Reference Solutions go to the library’s website at www.mywpl.org, click on the Resources tab and then select Online Databases. You will need your library card number and PIN to login.
