[Yulpub] trial database: Vital Statistics on American Politics

[Julie Linden]

For the month of September, we have a trial to CQ's Vital Statistics on 
American Politics. It includes statistical tables covering 
elections and political parties, campaign finance and political action 
committees, public opinion and voting, the media, Congress, the presidency 
and executive branch, the judiciary, federalism, foreign military policy, 
social policy, and economic policy. Long time series (e.g. many years of 
data) are available for several topics. Tables can be downloaded in Excel 
or CSV format.

Various years of the print edition are available in various Yale 
libraries, including SSL, the Law Library, and CCL.

The online version can be accessed from the Databases A-Z list, directly 
at: http://library.cqpress.com/vsap/, or within the CQ Electronic Library 
(which contains five other CQ databases to which we subscribe): 
http://library.cqpress.com/index.php.

Please send me your comments and feel free to forward this message to 
others. The trial expires September 30.
