LibGuides: 2022 Fulbright Scholars: More databases

Handbooks, statistical information, and other special databases

The big list of databases can be sorted by subject, by type of database, and by provider. Here is a sampling of some of the other sources that are not indexes to research papers:

Statista This link opens in a new window
A index to (downloadable) statistical information. Includes government and industry sources.

Statista provides statistical data from thousands of institutions and sources. It provides access to data from market and opinion research institutions, as well as from business organizations and government agencies.
Statista includes data on more than 85,000 topics from 18,000 sources. About 20 percent of the total data in Statista comes from sources available free online, such as the World Bank and the U.S. Census, but the data also includes numerous exclusive sources which include industry, marketing, and trade groups. Much of the data is related to marketing, demographic, government and industry information, and is international in scope. Data can be downloaded in JPG, PowerPoint and Excel.
While historical and time series data are not a focus of Statista, the metadata about each table provides all the necessary information to go to the table’s source, where historical information may be available.
