You travel from site to site—federal agency to U.S. Congress, state government to United Nations—searching for crucial yet elusive statistical data. Links work one day; the next they’re dead. Sites spring up and then move overnight, leaving you stranded. Novices are now lost in cyberspace. Even if you’re familiar with the Internet, navigating it can be more than a full-time job. You can never be sure you’ve covered it all.
New frontiers have always demanded better instruments of exploration. That’s why we’ve made LexisNexis Statistical. So you can explore, trace, and pinpoint data in the constantly changing world of electronic statistical information.
LexisNexis Statistical leads you to the data you need
It adds up to conclusive searching. With LexisNexis Statistical you’ll know you’ve explored every route to get the statistical data you need.
No other Web-based service gives you full bibliographic control of statistical data produced by the U.S. government; important international intergovernmental organizations; and knowledgeable professional and trade organizations, business organizations, commercial publishers, independent research organizations, state government agencies, and universities.
LexisNexis Statistical lets you find
• all statistics issued by the U.S. government back to 1973 through CIS' American Statistics Index.
• some 1,000 of the best statistical publications of private and state government sources from 1980 forward through CIS' Statistical Reference Index.
• approximately 2,000 indispensable titles from some 100 international intergovernmental organizations, all published annually since 1983 through CIS' Index to International Statistics.
It adds up to conclusive searching. With LexisNexis Statistical you’ll know you’ve explored every route to get the statistical data you need.
Clear signs keep you on course
LexisNexis Statistical not only encompasses a world of statistical information using one common interface, but it takes you directly to the data you need. Instead of relying on the limited capabilities of free-text searching—particularly ineffective with the tabular format of statistical data—we’ve put markers along the way. This means that your search is guided by subject index terms built into the data by CIS’s experienced editors.
Smart links allow you to pinpoint the exact statistical publication, table, or chart you need.
Numbers multiply So do statistical publications. At an alarming rate, and each with a limited electronic shelf life. This means that not only do you have to find new sources of statistical information, but you also have to realize that as one publication is born, more than likely another has been retired.
LexisNexis Statistical keeps track of the birth, career, and retirement of statistics on government, international, intergovernmental, and other private Web sites. New titles are added as they’re published, and noteworthy publications are digitally archived as they’re removed by their originating source. This assures you comprehensive, up-to-date, and retrospective answers to all your statistical search questions each and every time you use LexisNexis Statistical.
Directions provided Designed especially for undergraduates and novice researchers, the LexisNexis Statistical help section gives users a glossary of common statistical terms, an overview of data collection methods, and guidance on interpreting statistical data.
Choices for individual libraries
With LexisNexis Statistical, access to government, international, intergovernmental, and other privately generated statistics keeps getting better. Whatever your library’s needs—complete access to the broad expanse of statistical data, entry to such defined areas as Criminal Justice, Demographics, Economics, Health and Vital Statistics, or the Environment, or navigation via a specially designed college edition that provides access to important statistical publications selected by CIS’s experienced editors—LexisNexis Statistical purchase options let you define how your library's holdings should grow.
Unrestricted access
There is no limit to exploration. LexisNexis Statistical's Web base gives your campus unrestricted access—from dorm room, faculty office, library, or off-campus home—and allows an unlimited number of simultaneous users. So anyone at anytime can take on the new electronic frontier.
