Information works

The USPS Corporate Library is here for you. In addition to a 100,000-volume collection — any of which postal employees can borrow — the library features a large variety of electronic business information databases that you can open using your computer.

Its reference staff is available at 202-268-2904/2905. Contact a reference librarian for information that requires a database search, or if you want, for articles from an old postal manual or a publication from the library’s extensive collection of obsolete postal publications.

Want to borrow a book that is listed in the library’s online catalog? Request it using the circulation form on the library’s Web site or by calling the reference number. And you can use the library’s wide variety of electronic data­bases to find business information, current news, or con­tact information for various government agencies and business associations.

Employees looking to grow professionally can find man­agerial advice, support and other information from various professional associations and organizations, part of the library’s growing list of corporate memberships, on its intranet site at http://blue.usps.gov/library.
