Finding Statistical Information

This guide provides links to websites that can help you find statistics on the Web.

Statistics in Library Databases

These databases are also good places to look for statistical graphics.  They also provide access to magazine articles and other sources of information.

CQ Researcher
explores a "hot" current events issue each week, and devotes 50 or 60 pages to it!  Once you find a good article, click on the Maps/Graphs link to see the statistical graphics.  Click on "Chronology" to see historical events arranged by date.  Statistics are scattered through each article, but you can also click on "Contacts" to find a list of organizations working on the issue.  Click on the links to their websites, and often they will include statistics.

Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center
One-stop source for information on social issues . Includes articles, topic overviews, statistics, primary documents, links to websites, and full-text magazine and newspaper articles.  To find statistics, search for your topic then click on the "statistics" tab.

Other LCC Library Databases
Other databases could have the information you need.
