Looking up a company
Print directories provide a brief summary of a company. For privately-owned companies, this may be limited to contact information, industry, and names of key executives. For publicly-owned companies, much more information is usually available. General purpose directories cover the largest public and private companies. Industry-specific and region-specific directories may provide information not included in general sources.
For additional print directories, try a Subject Keyword search in Barton, the MIT Libraries catalog. Search on an industry, region, or other keyword combined with the word DIRECTORIES.
For electronic directories, look for Profiles & Directories under the "Home" tab, above.
For financial information about companies, visit the Finance & Investment research guide.
Region-specific Directories
