List of smaller firms/middle markets/boutiques

Hi everyone.... in need of some help here. I've ran the gamut in investment banking this fall. Couple superdays, no offers, and a lot of trouble finding open desks at a non-target school. I graduate next spring and my firm did not return my intern class due to economic conditions

Does anyone have a list of boutiques/ smaller firms/ or anything to help expedite my research so I can network and apply? I need to get going and my school does not offer a lot of visibility into smaller banks because we are a non-target. 

Anything helps, if anyone knows of banks that plan on recruiting jan/feb for some reason please let me know. 

Thank you
