Statistical materials are also available from 1980 on for state agencies, think tanks, and many private sources.

Select material, especially State of New Jersey statistical products, may also be available at Alexander and other libraries in hard copy. In addition, LexisNexis Statistical provides indexing for documents from international governmental organizations (IGOs), e.g., the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, etc. since 1983. Strong collections of IGO materials are held by the Alexander Library and the Library of Science and Medicine in their respective collecting areas, and by the Dana Library in Newark for business. Not all of these resources are included in IRIS; contact the libraries' reference desks for holdings information.
