These resources listings are not comprehensive, and are only designed to highlight prominent and significant data and statistics collections, by discipline. If you need help finding a particular dataset or statistic in your discipline, reach out to your subject  librarian!

### Access to JHU Specific Content

If you are on the Johns Hopkins "guest" wireless networks (on both Homewood and JHMI campuses), or off campus, you willNOT always be able to view full content of subscribed databases unless you use the [Virtual Private Network (VPN)](https://hub.jhu.edu/at-work/2016/07/26/access-virtual-private-network/ "VPN Instructions").

### How can I get help finding the data or statistics I am looking for?

If you know specifically which dataset you are interested in, but JHU does not subscribe, and you are an active JHU affiliate you may apply for a [JHU Libraries Data Grant](https://dataservices.library.jhu.edu/data-grant/) and, contingent on eligibility and availability, you will receive access to the data you need.
