There are myriad sources of data you can get through your Berkeley affiliation as well as open data, government and otherwise! The best starting place is THIS GUIDE which has hundreds of links to datasets that are licensed for/made available to Berkeley users by the UC Berkeley Library. Remember that these are secondary datasets (they have already been collected by others), but collecting your own data, to create a primary dataset, is always an option!
Below is a partial, alphabetical listing of the many Library Research Guides which contain pages with lists and details about data resources and methods, as related to various disciplines. If you have questions about anything contained in these pages, feel free to contact the librarian who created them!
