ESDS guides

ESDS has produced a series of guides that both introduce and provide guidance on various ESDS services. In addition to showing how to navigate the ESDS web sites, and online systems for finding and exploring social science data and documentation held by ESDS, some of the guides include exercises that are used in ESDS hands-on workshops. Other guides provide a more in-depth exploration of issues pertaining to using data by research themes, software packages or data analysis techniques.
