The open web provides statistical and data content in an unorganized manner without the ability to sort or filter results. Library portals to statistical providers offer inconsistent access and dead links. Users drilling down publicly available datasets are left blindly searching or only getting a small amount of information online. Statistical Insight offers a single, friendly interface providing access to over 70,000 reports, 1 million tables, and 700,000 spreadsheets across 5,500 datasets in an organized collection focused specifically on statistical content.

1. The open web….
The open web does not distinguish statistics or data from other
types of content. You cannot sort results by
date, subject, source, or geographic area. Good & bad sources of
data are jumbled together.

2. Portals to Statistical Content Providers –
A Source of Frustration
Because library portals provide partial or inconsistent access to statistical
content. Some of these doors will be locked because the links are dead.
