Other Cornell data sources

Of course, there are other data resources available to Cornell University researchers. Here are two of them:

ICPSR Direct

You can download data directly from links in the ICPSR catalog of holdings. When using ICPSR Direct for the first time, you register your name, Cornell affiliation, department, and e-mail address. Then use your e-mail address and a password to download data. You can use ICPSR Direct from a Cornell IP address or off-campus via this link provided by the Cornell University Library. More information about Cornell's ICPSR membership is elsewhere on this site.

Most ICPSR data are in ascii format, have machine-readable documentation, and many--but not all--have SAS, SPSS, and Stata input programs. ICPSR continues to add datasets in SAS, SPSS, and Stata formats.

You may not redistribute ICPSR data to those outside Cornell University. By downloading and using ICPSR data, you acknowledge and accept the ICPSR terms of use.

Cornell University Library

CUL own a large number of datasets in a variety of formats: CD-ROM, DVD, diskette, and online subscription. As a U.S. Government Document Depository, it receives copies of the most commonly distributed federal government datasets on CD-ROM or DVD, including the censuses of agriculture, economics, and population. Some libraries also purchase titles that are not available at CISER; for example,

Staff in Mann Library and the Olin Library Map Collection provide research consulting for spatial data and geographic information systems (GIS).

Cornell University Library has a large number of statistical resources through the Library Gateway and its Find Databases function. These networked resources are selected by CUL librarians for their quality, value to researchers, and subject coverage. These products generally fall into three categories:
