ESDS publications

Please note that the ESDS has a number of publications available, including UK Databytes which is the quarterly newsletter of the Economic and Social Data Service providing a forum for information and news. Prior to Issue 9 the newsletter was known as UK DAtabytes and was the newsletter of the UK Data Archive.

The ESDS undertook a survey from which it produced the following report - Accessing and Analysing Social and Economic Data : Users' needs uncovered. The qualitative questionnaire that formed part of the report is also available: ESDS Qualidata web questionnaire.

These publications are available in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. The free Adobe Reader is available from our help page.
