You will run into many references to resources beyond the collections of Carleton's library such as Bloomberg, Datastream, Wharton or WRDS, or Global Insight. Carleton does not have access to any of these resources nor does the University of Minnesota. If you wanted data known to come from sources like these, please contact me, Kristin, to discuss other options. Sometimes there are similar sources in our collections or other local libraries in the Twin Cities that make their resources avaialble to guests. The sources named above, however, are either not available in the state or not available for guest use (for example, Thomson One or Mergent)
Use Google to identify the national statistical bureaus of countries you are studying or their central banks. These sites are often translated into English and offer richer local data than the big aggregators and comparative datasets.
