A New Database in Town: WDI Online

WDI Online is the premiere data source on the global economy. It contains statistical data for over 550 development indicators and time series data from 1960-2002 for over 200 countries and 18 country groups. Data includes social, economic, financial, natural resources, and environmental indicators. Data selection screens are intuitive and easy to use. Results can be scaled, indexed against a particular year, viewed by percentage change, and charted. These features plus data export options in standard formats like Excel make WDI Online the most useful tool yet for researching developmental data.

You can find WDI Online on the Bailey Library website - select JOURNAL ARTICLES/DATABASES, then select it from the alphabetical list of databases. Or, try your new department portal from the library website by selecting SUBJECT RESOURCE PAGES on the library homepage. WDI Online is only available on campus.
