Making Data Accessible

May 27, 2013 / Melody Smith / Comments Off on Making Data Accessible

EBSCO and Data-Planet have reached an agreement that will put statistical DataSheets within a discovery service. This growing collection of more than 5,000 summary-level data records from Data-Planet will be available within EBSCO Discovery Service allowing mutual customers to link directly to Data-Planet DataSheets.

Knowledge Speak brought this interesting news to our attention in their article, “More than 5,000 summary-level data records from Data-Planet now accessible via EBSCO Discovery Service.” With more than two billion views of data (maps, trends, tables, rankings), the Data-Planet content comes from reputable public and private organizations and covers topics across 16 broad subject areas. Users can access all the available views for each data series and download the data from each DataSheet.

In addition to being accessible in EBSCO Discovery Service, the Data-Planet repository is searchable in both Data-Planet Statistical Datasets and Data-Planet Statistical Ready Reference.
