Find datasets in Google’s Dataset Search

Byryan May 23, 2019May 23, 2019

Google Dataset Search is a search engine for various sets of data available on the internet. This could be used by students to find more information out about something they are studying.

To use the site, you visit Dataset Search and start typing the kind of data you want. Dataset Search will search as you type. I typed in Ohio and was given various sets of data such as Social Security recipients by county and Clermont County mugshots. Unfortunately, my county didn’t show up for mugshots.

Students could use the site instead of an internet search to help them narrow down and collect information.
