Data & Statistics  

Here are a few quick links to commonly-used sources of data & statistics (note that some may require a York login to access):

This guide will direct you to data sources in these broad subject areas:

The above subject areas are also available via the "Subjects" tab on the toolbar near the top of the page. Other tabs provide access to

• microdata (i.e., raw survey data);
• a compilation of major foreign & international sources;
• sources of geospatial data for GIS applications;
• information about RDC (Research Data Centres) - when you need access to master files;
• a list of data centres at other institutions;
• information about open data;
• how to cite your data (VERY IMPORTANT!);
• help, in a variety of ways.

The emphasis is on Canadian sources, but significant foreign/international sources are also highlighted.

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of available resources; if you do not find what you need here, contact the Data Librarian. If you require assistance with geospatial data, contact the Map and GIS Librarian.

I'm generally around 8:30-4:30, Monday to Friday; check my calendar to see when I'm available. Check the weekly version (default display is monthly) to get additional details.
