Internet Searching
We would always recommend starting with LSE webpages to find materials, because the Library subscribes to a great deal of content that you won't be able find using Google. However, Google Scholar| is very useful, and works best either on campus or via the LSE Remote Desktop|.
-
There are also many freely available web resources that the Library has collated for you using the Library's Delicious account. A selection of these is shown below:
Data
-
The Data Library contains a wide range of data and statistics from across the globe. Access is usually available online but in some cases only available from specific machines in the Library itself. All resources can be found via the Data Library webpages.
-
There is also a Moodle course called the Library Companion for Data Users that will help you locate resources.
-
The Data Librarian is also available to assist with any queries you may have about finding data or using individual resources.
