NCES in a Nutshell

Wondering how the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES)--the primary federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and reporting data related to education in the United States and other nations--can help you? A new publication, Learning About Education Through Statistics, provides a quick reference to the statistical material available from NCES, including brief descriptions of the major surveys and studies supported by NCES.

This 30-page booklet provides information concerning each study, ordering information for major NCES publications and CD-ROMS, a listing of contact persons for each survey or study, and information about Internet access to NCES electronic services. For a free copy of Learning About Education Through Statistics call the National Data Resources Center at 703-845-3151 or the National Library of Education at 1-800-424-1616. You can also view the report on the NCES web site at http://nces.ed.gov/.
