Business Information is Chosen by the National Library Board in
Singapore to Deliver Public and Private Company Profiles
06/19/2007
Concord, Mass., June 19, 2007
- Singapore’s prestigious National Library Board (NLB) has
chosen OneSource’s Global Business Information to offer robust
company information to its 2 million library members.
Through web-based digital library pages,
remote users can now access millions of global public and
private company profiles and rich sources of news/trade
publications. Onsite users can access an even wider scope of
company data, peer listings/comparisons, financial analysis, and
market research reports.
NLB chose
OneSource because the company offers an unparalleled resource of
integrated business information on companies around the world,
covering 17 million global companies and 21 million executives.
NLB first engaged with OneSource in February,
2006, when its research and publishing group—responsible for
doing research for all Singapore Government Agencies—subscribed
to the OneSource
Global
Business Browser Asia Pacific product.
NLB
was established in
September 1995 to spearhead the transformation of library
services in Singapore. NLB’s mission is to provide a trusted,
accessible and globally-connected library and information
service so as to promote a knowledgeable and engaged society. As
such, NLB is creating a network of borderless libraries linking
all publicly-funded libraries in Singapore to overseas libraries
and information services through computer networking. The
organization provides a broad range of resources, including
public library services, reference libraries, eBooks, eMagazines,
and eDatabases.
Through the
new agreement, NLB is extending its commitment to
become one of the most extensive warehouses of information,
providing
users with
access to comprehensive information.
“We are delighted that NLB have committed to OneSource’s
flexible and comprehensive solution,” said Kevin Tan, Asia Sales
Manager for OneSource Information Services, Inc.
