We will be using SPSS for statistical analysis. SPSS is available on CCIS PC’s and also on all NuNet PC’s. Relevant excerpts from SPSS textbooks are available online. In addition, online tutorials are available from the Harvard-MIT Data Center and the University of Toronto.

Places to look for measures include the ACM Digital Library, the PsycInfo bibliographic database (esp. for psychological questionnaires), and PubMed (esp. for health-related measures and questionnaires).
Another good source of measures is the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST): it is their mission to develop standardized measures for just about
everything you can imagine. Their Information
Technology Laboratory provides measurements for the IT industry. One
example specialty area is Performance
Metrics for Intelligent Systems.
