Other Dataset Resources + Statistics Guides
- St. Olaf A-Z Data/Statistics DatabasesWe have a number of databases that focus on datasets available for use. They cover a wide variety of areas!
- St. Olaf Research Guide to Statistical InformationFind sources of data on a variety of topics. Less robust than the Carleton guide, but still useful.
- Carleton Library Data GuidesCreated primarily by Kristin Partlo, the Carleton data guides are a wonderful place to start to find sources of data on a variety of topics
- StatistaWhile we don't have a subscription to Statista at St. Olaf, Carleton does. If you encounter a dataset that you'd like to access, you can physically go to Carleton's library and access the database from your computer while physically located there. If that doesn't work, try using one of the computers on-site.
