- Apologies for cross-posting -
MIDAS courses are free of charge to prospective users of MIDAS and
support staff in libraries and computer services, but you must book
a place. We shall ask for your name, department and institution, and
your email address and/or telephone number so that we can contact you.
Please advertise these courses at your institutions and consider
adding a link to MIDAS from your web pages.
MIDAS is a national datasets service offering online access to a
wide range of data (including satellite data, census data,
large surveys, macro-economic data), specialist software and
computing resources to the UK academic community at no charge to
the end user. Site licences may be required for some datasets.
Some of these courses can be given at your site if there is
sufficient interest. If you perceive such a need, please
contact me, Anne McCombe ([log in to unmask]).
