*Please excuse cross-postings.*

As committed information professionals, we’re always on the look-out for
high-quality, cost-effective resources to help us meet the needs the
communities we serve.  What if I told you that there was a slate of
resources where, in just a handful of clicks, you could access current
facts and figures in a variety of data formats--enough to make anyone
staffing a reference desk swoon with delight--AND select, download and
analyze huge data sets perfectly suited to teach users how to spot trends
and research communities using the concepts of data mining and
visualization.  Now, what if I said that among these resources you could
also find lesson plans and other learning materials, already prepared, to
help you help your patrons.

Sounds pretty handy, right?  Now, what if I told you that all this data is
available to you, right now, for free.  Yep.  Free.
