statistical software
data files, sometimes referred to as "microdata", consist of the collected responses of a sample population to a questionnaire.
analysis of these data generally requires access to specific software, such as spss, and some knowledge of research methods.
spss software is available in the main floor computer lab in the chancellor paterson library, as well as in the computer labs on the third floor of atac building.
