The UF George A. Smathers Libraries are now subscribers to Statista.com, the first statistics portal in the world to integrate data on over 60,000 topics from over 18,000 sources onto a single professional platform. Categorized into 21 market sectors, Statista.com provides companies, business customers, research institutions, and the academic community with direct access to quantitative data on media, business, finance, politics, and a wide variety of other areas of interest or markets.

Faculty, students, and staff can download graphs, which will be a useful resource for student papers and faculty lectures as well as a reference tool that indexes, sources, and links to original sources of data.

For more information, contact Peter McKay, Business Librarian, at pzmckay@uflib.ufl.edu or 352-273-2634.

Research administration staff members have been advised to complete two new effort reporting classes to better assist them in answering questions from faculty and principal investigators.

The RSH230 course is mandatory for any new individual who wants to acquire the effort coordinator role to allocate effort, and the RSH200 course explains how to use the system. The classes were designed by the Division of Sponsored Research, Contracts and Grants, and Human Resources. All people involved with budgeting and managing sponsored funds are strongly encouraged to complete these online courses.  For more information, please contact the Division of Sponsored Research.
