Below are your best bets for data and statistics in the PG Library. Use Statista and ProQuest Statistical Insight to find charts, graphs, data tables, and other content you can cite or reuse (with citations) in your projects.
In most web search engines, including Google, you can add site: before either a specific address (ex: www.nytimes.com) or domain (ex: gov, org, or edu). For example:
motor vehicle theft rates site:gov
The U.S. federal government is a large publisher of statistics and many basics statistics researchers and businesses rely on come from them, especially from the U.S. Census. For most basic statistics, limiting your search with site:gov will help limit your results to factual, reliable sources.
You can also visit individual department or organization websites that offer statistics in a particular area. For direct access to some frequently used data hubs, visit the links below.
Need tips on creating an engaging, visually interesting presentation? Check out the following sources from O'Reilly, a subscription with professional development modules, videos, and books focused on business and computing skills in the PG Library. Note that some of these might take several hours to complete front-to-back, but you can cherry-pick certain things you are particularly interested in learning. Look at the Contents list after opening to see which videos you're interested in.
