Data Sources Portal
This guide is an index to data sources that are both freely available on the Internet and those available only to MSU affiliates. It is meant to help researchers find data sets from existing studies to perform secondary analysis, and will also help identify sources of statistics. While this guide aims to be comprehensive it is continually evolving and is not completely exhaustive of all sources. Suggestions for additional sources are welcome. To make a suggestion, or for personal assistance in identifying and/or locating a data set, please contact the Data Services Librarian.
