In an ideal world there would be a meta search engine for finding previously created research data – but no such tool currently exists. So for now, see our new Guide on the best sources and tools for finding data: http://libguides.stir.ac.uk/findingdata.
Included in the Guide is a tool that’s a bit different: Zanran – a search engine that focuses on finding graphs, charts and tables on the internet. Give it a go at: http://www.zanran.com/q/
