We recognise that lecturers often have trouble obtaining data sets that are suitable for teaching specific concepts in statistics. To assist in that area, SAS has assembled a library of SAS data sets. After providing a minimal amount of identification information, visitors will be able to download any of a number of data sets from the Data Set Library. The library contains an index data set to help you ascertain the size of each data set and some types of analysis that might be appropriate for that data. In addition, a text file is included with each individual data set to give some background about the data and recommendations for analysis discussions.

This 'just-in-time' training is fully interactive and designed to be used in conjunction with SAS software as well as with SAS Learning Edition. Access training directly from your desktop, whenever and wherever it's convenient, at extremely affordable prices. The prices displayed on the web site are corporate (minus 50 % will give you the academic price in USD).

The SAS web site is one of the most long-standing commercial web sites on the Internet and it contains a wealth of information:

• Success Stories: Information about some of the most successful uses made of our software. (http://www.sas.com/success/).
  It is interesting to note that we can't publish many of the most successful stories because of commercial confidentiality: customers gain such unique value from using SAS that they don't want their competition to find out!
• Details of SAS products at http://www.sas.com/software/index.html
• White Papers at http://www.sas.com/apps/whitepapers/whitepaper.jsp. These provide a detailed look into how SAS solutions, products and technologies solve business problems.
• The Customer Support pages provide a mass of useful information http://support.sas.com/

Subscribing to free e-newsletters is a convenient way of receiving information. There are several that may be helpful:

"In the Know" is a bi-monthly email communication for our user community. Its aim is to improve the news and information flow about SAS software solutions, technologies and technical support.
