This is a huge data archive of social and behavioral sciences (even including STEM, Health, Financing, etc.). We are encourage to engage in research, but without data, we cannot move forward. At this moment, we have to collect data on our own but it costs a lot and it is almost impossible to conduct a longitudinal and/or nationwide study. If we have access to this massive database and download data in our discipline, this expands our research/publication opportunities and collaborative work. This archive even contains biography data which may be beneficial to undergraduate students or as a classroom tool.

What does this resource cover that existing library resources do not? ID: 37

A variety of downloadable data.

In order to add a new subscription, we often will need to cancel an existing subscription of similar cost. Do you have a suggestion of an existing resource in your discipline which you think should be considered for cancellation? If so, please list below: ID: 31
