About

Parrish Library’s Get Started series will give you a brief introduction to the basic features of one of Purdue Libraries’ subscription resources. In this edition, we’re featuring Data Axle Reference Solutions.

Data Axle Reference Solutions provides basic directory for millions of current and historical U.S. businesses, and individual U.S. consumers. This database can be used to build lists like “all coffee shops in Indianapolis” or “all semiconductor machinery manufacturers in California and Indiana.”
