Finding Data and Statistics

Key data sources

Data and statistics by subject 

Printed statistical publications in the Library 

A note of caution…
Be aware that data is only available if someone has collected it and they are prepared to give you access to it. In some cases, access is restricted because data is commercially sensitive or contains personal information.  Today much data is freely available online but there is still much data that is not free. The Library buys some data and statistical publications, but we can’t buy everything. If data is essential to your work, allow plenty of time to find it and be aware that it may not be available to you.
