HARRASSOWITZ can help you in your search for quantitative data, statistics and facts - by partnering with Statista, the Hamburg, Germany based statistics portal, HARRASSOWITZ is able to provide its customers with access to market data and facts on over 60,000 topics. In her recent review of Statista in Library Journal (January 2012, p. 141), Bonnie Swoger wrote "institutions that choose to purchase the product [the Statista database] will find that it will quickly become the number one source for reference questions that begin with ‘I need statistics on ....’" With an initial focus on Germany and the US and Canada, Statista combines public data with private resources to generate customized graphs and charts in multiple formats from any retrieved data that can then be integrated into presentation and reporting applications such as PowerPoint and Excel. Simple and convenient in its application, Statista is already being used by over 140 European libraries and top business and media corporations. Access to the Statista database is available on an annual subscription basis with discounts for orders placed before June 2012. Pricing is set by FTEs. 60-day institution-wide trials are offered. Invoicing and other administrative services are provided by HARRASSOWITZ. Demonstrations of the Statista portal will be given during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Dallas TX, January 20 - 23, 2012 at the HARRASSOWITZ booth (nos. 2428/2429, Dallas Convention Center Exhibit Hall) - if you are attending ALA Midwinter, please do stop by.
