BCR Partners with Leadership Directories
BCR, through a new partnership with Leadership Directories, Inc., is making the Leadership Online family of databases available to BCR members. Designed for special, academic, community college and public libraries, each database provides information that users will find particularly useful as our new government takes shape.
Leadership Directories provides high-quality contact information for the leaders of major U.S. government, business, professional and nonprofit organizations. Users receive fully researched, verified and up-to-date contact data for the institutional leadership of the United States. In fact, the Congressional Leadership Directory Online already has been updated to reflect the new staff members, new committee assignments, new biographical data for congressional members, new room numbers, vacancies and title changes.
Each database specializes in a particular area of American activity, with information on nearly a half million leaders at more than 40,000 organizations. BCR is currently making the following databases available:
-
