SAS Data Set LibrarySAS Higher Education Consulting has assembled a library of SAS data sets to assist educators in teach-ing statistical concepts. The library contains an index data set to help you ascertain the size of each data set and some types of analysis that might be appropriate for that data. In addition, a text file is included with each individual data set to give some background about the data and recommendations for analysis discussions. Visit http://support.sas.com/training/forms/hecftp.html to access the library.

Certificate programsHigher Education Consulting will work closely with your institution to develop certificate programs in data mining and data warehousing. While the univer-sity would administer the program, a set of minimum requirements must be met to earn SAS co-sponsor-ship. Certificate programs in other areas of SAS expertise can be developed if interest warrants.
