The Data Archives Service at MU Libraries offers assistance to MU faculty, staff and students needing machine-readable datasets for new and original research projects. Through the library’s campus membership in the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) and the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, MU affiliates may browse and download any of thousands of datasets on a wide variety of topics. We also help users access the growing number of public use datasets on the internet.
