This page is designed to help you find
statistical data online. If you need to find articles about
statistics as a discipline, please see the Mathematics page.
Depending on you specific topic, you may find useful resources
listed on an appropriate subject page in addition to the resources
listed below.
The following databases/indexes are designed to provide links to
online resources. To find books, you will need to consult the
Hiram College Library
Catalog and, perhaps, the
OhioLINK catalog.
1. Databases of Statistics - These
databases consist primarily of the data itself. Additional
free sources, including standard works like the Statistical
Abstracts of the United States, are listed below under
Additional Web Sites.

2. Databases/indexes to find
periodical articles - These databases are designed to
help you identify relevant periodical articles through keyword or
subject searches. In most cases there will be links to either
the online version of the article or a listing of the library's
holdings. If you are not sure, you may check the library's
periodical
holdings list and/or its
list of
online journals. These databases are listed in the order
in which the library recommends them.

Databases/indexes of e-journals - These databases store
runs of complete periodical titles. In most cases the
databases listed above will link to the full-text in these databases
and you do not need to search them, too. If, however, you need
only a couple of good, scholarly articles on a topic, you should
consider searching these databases.
