Free Webinar: How to Access Data during COVID-19
Is COVID-19 keeping you from accessing Statistics Canada Masterfile data only available on campus? Western Libraries can help you find other sources of high-quality research data you can access from home.
Join librarians Liz Hill and Kristi Thompson on May 20 at 2:30 p.m. for a national webinar on Statistics Canada RTRA, an online access system for accessing Statistics Canada restricted data. Western students, faculty, staff and researchers have free remote access through Western Libraries.
You will learn the differences between the data that can be accessed through the RTRA vs. Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (RDC). You will also discover alternative sources of data from the U.S. and elsewhere that are similar to the Statistics Canada master datasets.
