The
Canadian Studies Center maintains a resource room
that includes books, government documents,
magazines, maps,
tapes, videos,
and on-line databases.
Covering virtually every subject, we have information
on political parties and government practices, demographics
and social norms, business and economic trends, tax
codes, legal topics, and specialized directories.
On-line
databases available through the Center make it easy
to handle very specific information requests. A partial
list of computer databases we consult include:
- Statistics
Canada -- E-Stat and CANSIM (Canadian Socio-Economic
Information Management System). E-STAT is a program
which provides educational institutions with a
huge data warehouse containing accurate, reliable,
and
timely data on Canada and its population. Bowling
Green State University students and teachers can
access E-STAT from the institution without entering
a password. Click

The
Canadian Studies Center also subscribes to University-wide
access to CANSIM. This searchable database, collected
by Statistics Canada and operated by the University
of Toronto, contains hundreds of thousands of time
series matrices on social and economic information
and covers nearly every aspect of Canadian life. Click

begin your search.
The
Center also has access to University-wide resources
on-line such as the U.S. Census and Lexis-Nexis.
Center staff have expertise in locating and retrieving
Canadian data on the Internet and is available to
provide an introduction to these resources.
Hard
copy sources of information at the Center are tailored
to take the mystery out of doing business across
the border. Helpful titles include:
- NAFTA
Customs Procedures Manual
- Canadian
Trade Index
- Canadian
Almanac & Directory
The
Center also subscribes to several magazines and journals
including Canadian Business Economics, Survey
of Current Business, Canadian Business, Bank
of Canada Review and Supplement, Journal of
Canadian Studies, and Maclean's.
BGSU
faculty can search the Canadian
Government Select Depository site
for resources related to their courses and research.
Many of these materials are available electronically
via the website. Requests for other depository items
must be placed with the BGSU Jerome Library Canadian
Studies Liaison Bob Graham at
rgraham@bgnet.bgsu.edu.
