Number crunching

Reports, projects, and presentations all look "better" with graphs and charts.

World Data Analyst includes current and historical statistics on 217 countries of the world. Highlights of the database include the following:

----Country Snapshots--maps and statistics
----Country Comparisons--create tables and graphs comparing countries using recent and historical statistics
----Ranked Statistics--compare economic or population measures or significant geographic features


Users can use tools in the database to create tables and charts and export the information to a spreadsheet for data crunching and deeper analysis.

World Data Analyst is an Encyclopedia Britannica product available through GALILEO.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
