What is ODESI? <\/h2>\n\n
ODESI is the Laurier Library's data portal for Statistics Canada and public opinion polling microdata. All data is curated by a team of librarians from across Ontario.<\/p>\n\n

What kind of data is in ODESI?<\/h2>\n\n
ODESI houses our microdata holdings (e.g, public use microdata files, or \"PUMFs\"). Microdata files usually hold granular data where individual responses or facts are recorded as distinct variables, usually in tabular format. Microdata in ODESI is stored in SPSS, Stata, and SAS formats, and sometimes in .CSV<\/p>\n\n

Who should use ODESI data?<\/h2>\n\n
Faculty and students planning to conduct statistical analysis with socioeconomic data using a program like SPSS, Stata, or R will benefit from using ODESI to find and download their microdata.<\/p>\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Untitled Text"},"subContentId":"11cc1a35-314b-4d4b-875c-f67e6c2fa51c"},"useSeparator":"auto"},{"content":{"params":{"contentName":"Image","file":{"path":"images\/file-6227c9923a6b5.png","mime":"image\/png","copyright":{"license":"U"},"width":1063,"height":104},"decorative":true},"library":"H5P.Image 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Image","license":"CC BY-SA","title":"Laurier Library banner","authors":[{"name":"joud","role":"Author"}],"licenseVersion":"4.0","yearFrom":2022},"subContentId":"8c9e8797-0d7f-4492-a807-0194ecd98525"},"useSeparator":"auto"}]},"library":"H5P.Column 1.16","subContentId":"a433ee81-88ad-43a1-9f2e-6f9de9e2d2e2","metadata":{"contentType":"Column","license":"U","title":"What is ODESI and What kind of data is in ODESI?"}},{"params":{"content":[{"content":{"params":{"contentName":"Image","file":{"path":"images\/file-6227c9923a6b5.png","mime":"image\/png","copyright":{"license":"U"},"width":1063,"height":104},"decorative":true},"library":"H5P.Image 1.1","metadata":{"contentType":"Image","license":"CC BY-SA","title":"Laurier Library banner","authors":[{"name":"joud","role":"Author"}],"licenseVersion":"4.0","yearFrom":2022},"subContentId":"0b4a9d5b-2936-4e6e-aaf0-1755101421b1"},"useSeparator":"auto"},{"content":{"params":{"text":"
