Databases

Martindale Law Firm (Library Use Only)
This database serves as a network for information on lawyers and firms. It also provides access to a wide range of biographical information and professional credentials regarding lawyers in private, corporate and government.

Personal and Business Forms
The purpose of this database is to provide quick access to the many forms and checklists needed to organize personal and business matters and to establish contact with government agencies. Available documents include those forms most often requested from agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Small Business Administration, the Department of Labor, the General Services Administration, and other governmental and quasi-governmental bodies. Forms and checklists designed to make personal record keeping more efficient are also available. The forms cover a wealth of situations ranging from applying for a disaster loan to writing a lease to filling out college applications. (Funded by the New Jersey State Library)
