Gale Directory Library

The Gale Directory Library (GDL) is a new addition to the St. Louis County Library’s database collection. The GDL allows you to search electronic directories to find the information you need about associations, companies, products and business rankings. You can browse or search a single directory or multiple directories at once.

GDL is a great resource for marketing and business research. Perhaps you are looking to change careers and want to know the best companies in Missouri to work for or the largest companies in Missouri. The Business Rankings Annual Directory provides that information. Maybe you want to send a mailing to health associations in the state. The Encyclopedia of Associations: Regional, State and Local Organizations contains the information you need.

This database can also assist you in your personal life. Do you wish you could remember who made the Go-Gurt snacks that your kids like so much? Brands and Their Companies Directory will not only identify Yoplait as the company you are looking for, but also include a local phone number, toll-free number, address and website. If you want to try a new yogurt brand, choose from the top yogurt brands for 2011 listed in the Market Share Reporter Directory.

Please contact the Reference Department at extension 2050 if you have any questions about the Gale Directory Library or any other SLCL electronic resource.
