Time is Running Out to Save on ProQuest's New Stat Products

Amigos members have until June 30 to take advantage of ProQuest's discount offer on their statistical products: The Historical Statistical Abstract of the United States and Statistical Abstracts of the World. If you are an existing Statistical Abstracts of the United States subscriber, discounts are available on International DataSets.

The Historical Statistical Abstract of the U.S. was previously published by the U.S. federal government from 1878-2012, but budget cuts eliminated the long-standing production. ProQuest has now assumed responsibility for updating and maintaining this reference tool, whose features include:

  • Table level indexing that allows users to browse and search across all tables
  • Tables converted from PDF to Excel
  • Covers years 1970-2012

Statistical Abstracts of the World uses the award-winning Statistical Abstract of the U.S. interface, and features:

  • Nearly 50 statistical compendia and 30,000 tables from around the world
  • Table-level indexing
  • All tables extracted and converted to GIF and XLS

International DataSets provides content selected by ProQuest’s statistical data experts, and allows users to find sub-national data for over 60 countries. Features include:

  • Data from international government organizations and in-country data from governmental statistical offices around the world
  • Data from private sources such as Oxford Economics, the Economist Intelligence Unit, and Datamyne
