Other tailor-made datasets can be produced from the student collection to meet user requirements. These datasets are normally provided as fixed-format flat ASCII files, but they can be produced in other formats such as spreadsheets. They can be distributed electronically, on CD or floppy disk. Charges will be incurred for these products.
Tabulations can also be generated to meet the needs of data users who are less able to undertake analyses from raw data. Output can be in printed format or as spreadsheets. Charges will be incurred for these products.
