Greetings and welcome to the third issue of DPLS News. This newsletter is distributed to members of the faculty in social science and other departments. It is our hope that you find this publication useful, and your feedback is encouraged. We ask you to share this newsletter with graduate students and other researchers who may not have received it.
More copies are available for interested individuals at the library.
We can aid you in analyzing your data needs, identifying available data for use or purchase, acquiring andmaking data available for use, as well as providing some technical assistance. Later in the newsletter we will describe some of the new data sets that have been received this summer. There are also a number of new developments at the library you might find of interest. The DPLS has received several PC-based international social and economic indicator databases that we are making available to users. These include the World Bank's World Tables, the German Socio-Economic Panel, and the CoWorks Time Series Library.
