Greetings from DC, FL, NY and PA

More statistical data than any sane person needs in this week's Resources 
of the Week selections.  But maybe, just maybe, you'll find that one jewel 
for which you were desperately searching.  Browse and enjoy.  And be sure 
to stop by the site regularly to see the new stuff we keep finding.

Resources of the Week
What do we like even better than maps. Maps and statistical resources. ere
are two sites for you to explore this week:
Geographic and Statistical Data
Source: University of Virginia Libraries
Geostat
This site is actually the locus for all the statistical and geographic data 
available through the University of Virginia's library system. Thus, you 
will find resources that are available only to the University of Virginia 
community. However, much of what you'll see here can be accessed and 
browsed by anyone. On the main page is a simple keyword search box; you can 
also click the Browse/Search link in the top navigation bar to go to a page 
offering a search box as well as links to browse either statistics and 
social science data or digital maps and geospatial data. The Browse Geostat 
Resources link under the search box on the main page will get you here as
well.
++
Health and Epidemiological Data
Source: World Health Organization
WHO Statistical Information System (WHOSIS)
Here is your hub for "health and health-related epidemiological and
statistical information available from the World Health Organization." You 
can jump to the different WHO program sites where the data is housed, or 
search across the entire collection. A seach box is conveniently located at 
the top center of the page.
