ReferenceUSA Named 2014 Best Reference Source


OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 25, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReferenceUSA, a software as a service (SaaS) reference and research database from Infogroup, was named a Library Journal's 2014 Best Reference Source and will be featured in the publication's March 1 edition. The annual Best Reference article is created by librarians and lists the best reference books, databases and free Internet resources available in libraries.
