| Abstract |
|
In a column last year, I wrote about "Science and Engineering Indicators", a publication of the National Science Board at the NSF Web site. That remains a very effective tool for getting primary and secondary data, including access to spreadsheet files of the Indicators' many tables. The Indicators, however, are in a document with fixed categories. Certain data, though probably "out there somewhere", are not presented in the print or online version. Well, "out there somewhere" is much easier to find through WebCASPAR, the NSF's Web-accessed search engine for a huge array of primary databases. The NSF Web site hosts the WebCASPAR database that allows users to post their queries of the basic data collected on science and engineering in the United States. This includes data about higher education in science, math, engineering, and technology.
