data.un.org is a search engine that quickly locates data set and statistical reports from key institutions covering a variety of different areas.  The home page claims that data.un.org searches over 55 million records ranging from population, industrial growth, education, environmental, energy, national tourism and information and communication technology to name a few.  I’m currently enrolled in a statistical policy evaluation class, so I found this tool very useful.  The data ranges and sets that data.un.org locates are compliment my class as well as provide relevant statistical data this is constantly being updated.  Institutions can reveal their research and allow for internet users to draw their own conclusions.  The website really brings together a number of global institutions to one place.  If you have some spare time you should check it out. It helps for independent research and overall provides some interesting data.  Make sure to check out the information and communication technology, it shows who and the magnitude of people using the web as a vital source of communication and networking.
