Description: Provides access to a wide range of sources and tools for collecting, compiling, and understanding social, political, and economic statistics from U.S. and around the world.

"This University of Michigan Documents Center site is a comprehensive portal to statistics. Statistical Resources on the Web includes information on agriculture, business and industry, consumers, cost of living, demographics, economics, education, energy, environment, finance and currency, foreign economics, foreign governments, foreign trade, government finances, health, housing, labor, military, politics, science, sociology, transportation, and weather. Frames and no-frames versions of the database are available. The arrangement of the site, with an alphabetical "quick jump" index and a prominent directory of topics under broad headings, makes it easily navigable. A site map is also provided and there is a choice of search engines. It is obvious at a glance why this well-designed site has won numerous awards."--Reviewed Apr. 2, 2001, "Best Free Reference Web Sites 2001," RUSA quarterly, fall 2001, comp. by the MARS Best Free Websites Committee, RUSA, ALA.
