New Guide to Statistical Sources: Online Resources for Education and Social Science Librarians

Access the Full Text Article

by Monique Andrews (Wayne St.), Adis Beesting (Floridia International University), Marija Freeland (U. of Michigan), Wendy Mann (George Mason U.) , Geoff Morse (Northwestern U.) and Pam Werre (Minnesota St. U.)

From the Article:

There are myriad statistical sources available on the Internet, however, it can be difficult to quickly locate the resources a researcher needs. To help make sense of this plethora of data, the EBSS Reference Sources and Services committee compiled a bibliography of online statistical resources in the subject areas of education, social work, gerontology, counseling psychology, and the general social sciences in January 2006. This bibliography became a wiki that is available at:

http://wikis.ala.org/acrl/index.php/A_Statistical_Directory_for_Education_%26_Social_Science_Librarians.

Below are a selection of these core resources that will prove helpful to librarians assisting researchers in need of statistical data.

Sections Include:
+ Education
+ Demographics and school populations
+ Psychology
+ Gerontology
+ Social Work.
