Start at http://databank.worldbank.org. Note that this page is different from data.worldbank.org (a place where you can get lost quickly).

There are multiple ways to navigate to this location when you aren't using the link from here:

• type databank.worldbank.org into your browser (and bookmark it!)
• Google: world bank databank
• worldbank.org > Data > View More Data > More Resources > DataBank

From this page, scroll down to Explore Databases and click the first option, which is World Development Indicators. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see this layout, which is the query tool we'll walk through on the following tabs.

Tip: If you get lost elsewhere on the World Bank site, always keep an eye out for the blue DATABANK button, which also leads here (most of the time). 

Move on to Step 2!
