Finding statistics

Books are another great source for getting statistics.  Our reference books do not circulate, but the first 2 books that are listed are available in both campus libraries.

Helpful Hints for finding statistics in books:

  • Sometimes statistics are buried within the text of a book.  As you research, take the time to skim through your findings to discover potential sources of statistics.   Look for graphs, charts, and diagrams to find statistical information.
