Hi all, just a reminder that we have a large collection of governmental CDROMs that may be useful to you. They are easy to overlook. If you go to GovInfo and select “Format type” CDROM, you will see a complete list.
Some of the interesting titles include:
Annual demographic statistics/Statistics Canada/ongoing
Demographic Yearbook Historical Supplement/United Nations/ covers 1947-1997
Global Development Finance/World Bank/covers 1970-
Labour Force Historical Review/Statistics Canada/ covers 1976- This one is often requested
U.S. Foreign Affairs/Dept. of State/1990- (official documents, speeches, testimony, general publications)
United Nations Yearbook Collection 1946-1999
UNHCR Refworld: Information on Refugees and Human Rights/5 disk set
Some are only .pdf files, but the more sophisticated statistical titles will have downloadable files, eg. Excel or even 20/20.
Just a reminder for all of us, me included.
Patrick.
