This thoroughly annotated guide will be a boon to library staff at public libraries, high school libraries, academic libraries, and other research institutions, with concentrated coverage of: Data sources for frequently researched subjects such as agriculture, the earth sciences, economics, energy, political science, transportation, and many more; The basics of data reference along with an overview of the most useful sources, focusing on free online sources of reliable statistics like government agencies and NGOs; Statistical datasets, and how to understand and make use of them; How to use article databases, WorldCat, and subject experts to find data; Methods for citing data; Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) software. This guide cuts through the data jargon to help librarians and researchers find exactly what they're looking for. |
