To Access Social Science Data Reference Resources:

UGA students, faculty, and staff may access our data resources in the Digital Humanities on the 3rd floor of the Main Library.

The principal resources available in the DigiLab are:

 - SAS software (open to any UGA affiliate with a valid UGA ID card required to get into the DigiLab)

 - Refinitiv Datastream (which also requires that the user has already self-registered for their personal Refinitiv Workspace login credentials and has been assigned a Datastream 'license' by John Prechtel, prechtel@uga.edu

Please note that the DigiLab does not provide support for these resources and that the two Windows workstations where the resources are installed are available on a first come first served basis.  Users who require assistance with Datastream can contact John Prechtel for help, prechtel@uga.edu

For out-of-town visitors, please refer to the UGA Campus Maps for directions to the Main Library (building 0054).
