Data Liberation
Initiative (DLI)
The Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) is
an excellent example of a cost effective method for
improving data resources for Canadian post secondary
institutions. With this program, participating
institutions pay an annual subscription fee that allows
their faculty and students unlimited access to numerous
Statistics Canada public use microdata files, databases
and geographic files. Use of these files is limited to
academic research and teaching purposes. To read additional information on
this program.
