Finding Data and Statistical Information
The NCSU Libraries collections contain many compilations of data and
statistical information. Data and statistics provide evidence and
corroboration of assertions and hypotheses.
Indexes to Statistical Data
An electronic source provides an in-depth indexing and abstracting service
for statistical publications issued worldwide. This Statistical Universe is made up of three component parts which have their origins in these three printed abstract titles:
- Statistical Universe
composed of:
American Statistics Index (ASI), 1974 -
D. H. Hill Reference HA 203 .A44 (6th floor, Reference Stacks)
ASI analyzes publications of Federal government agencies, and indexes the
numerical data found in these publications.
Statistical Reference Index (SRI), 1980 -
D. H. Hill Reference Z7554 .U5 S770 (6th floor, Reference Stacks)
SRI provides detailed indexing and abstracting for data collected and
published by universities, commercial publishers, trade associations, and
state governments.
Index to International Statistics, 1983 - 2004
D. H. Hill Reference Z7551. I54 (6th floor, Reference Stacks)
IIS provides access to data collected by international agencies, primarily the
United Nations. This is an excellent source for economic, agricultural and
social data, and data on government spending.
Statistical Abstracts and Compendia
A statistical abstract summarizes data from a variety of sources to cover
many subjects for a state, region, or country. Some statistical compendia
present data on a particular theme.
