New Database: ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political & Social Research)

Hewes Library now has access to ICPSR, the Inter-university Consortium for Political & Social Research.  ICPSR maintains a data archive of more than 500,000 files of research in the social sciences. It hosts 16 specialized collections of data in education, aging, criminal justice, substance abuse, terrorism, and other fields.  ICPSR is an excellent source for data sets and statistics, as well as an excellent resource for students and faculty working on collecting data for research projects.

ICPSR is available from the Databases: Find Articles section of the library's website. 

Access is limited to students, faculty, and staff of Monmouth College.
