Scope and content
The Data Library was set up in 1972 to acquire, store, and make available for research information kept in electronic format. The primarily statistical data was maintained for research in economics, demography, public opinion, geography, and other social sciences. It was operated jointly by the Library and the University Computing Centre. In 1998, the Humanities and Social Sciences / Government Publications Division absorbed the Data Library and became known as Numeric Data Services.
The sous-fonds consists of both records generated by the Data Library and printed information derived from or supplementary to the electronic data in its holdings. It includes contracts and other agreements covering data release to the Data Library, codebooks for electronic data, printed reports, and related documentation.
