This workshop will introduce researchers to the British Library's dataset programme and provide an overview of dataset activities within Social Sciences subject areas. It will show researchers current and planned services the Library is offering to connect researchers with data. It will explore the importance of high quality research data in social science disciplines and through examples it will look at where data fits in the research workflow. It will also look at some tools to carry out data analysis from Online Analysis and Visualization to Geographic Information Systems
