Many large libraries have been able to devote staff to data services for years, and recently smaller academic libraries have recognized the need to provide numeric data services and support. This guidebook serves as a primer to developing and supporting social science statistical and numerical data sources in the academic library. It provides strategies for the establishment of data services and offers short descriptions of the essential sources of free and commercial social science statistical and numeric data. Finally, it discusses the future of numeric data services, including the integration of statistics and data into library instruction and the use of Web 2.0 tools to visualize data.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDedication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of figures and tables\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbout the authors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introduction to data services and sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHistory of support for numeric data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData definitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Supporting statistical and numeric data services and sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental scanning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLevels of service\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModels of support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarketing and assessing data services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFuture directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Reference and instruction for data sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe reference interview and data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData instruction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStatistical and data literacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Basic sources for supporting numeric data services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProducers of statistics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTypes of sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSearch strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuick start to finding statistics and data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInternational\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEuropean Union and United Kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnited States\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCanada\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOther parts of the world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpecial topics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLocating spatial data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: Data librarianship: a day in the life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 6: The future for numeric data services\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVisualization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreservation of data\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eData citation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe future is data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppendix A: Respondents’ institutional profiles and full responses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAppendix B: Selected annotated bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Library \u0026amp; information sciences [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Library \u0026amp; information sciences\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Library%20\u0026amp;%20information%20sciences%20%5BGL%5D%22\"\u003eGL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Chandos Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651746550040,"sku":"9781843345800","price":54.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781843345800.jpg?v=1696713236","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/numeric-data-services-and-sources-for-the-general-reference-librarian-paperback-9781843345800","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
