Dear all
A bit of a plug for the psci-com web site, most of the reports listed by Elroy can be found be found by searching or browsing the web site ( http://psci-com.ac.uk/), particularly the 'Key reports' section (http://psci-com.ac.uk/browse/ypages/030.html) and Public attitudes surveys (http://psci-com.ac.uk/browse/ypages/303.3.html). We are aware that the DTI has changed its web site and you will find some dead links at present. We are unable to access the database for editing whilst the web site undergoes a major renovation, but we will amend the URLs for the dead links as soo as we have access again (should be in a couple of weeks). I also note some anomalies with reports that should be under key reports not appearing there and vice versa. I will review the pages once I have access again
Regards
Louise
