NEW Odesi Platform

Attention Odesi Users!!

There is a new platform for Odesi and the old one will be retired in Winter 2024.

This new platform offers increased searching capabilities, whether by survey title or keyword, including variable level searches.

We have created an infographic, How to Download Microdata from Odesi, showing the basic functions.

If you encounter difficulties accessing Odesi or have any questions, please contact Agnes and me at our alias, LibSnD@uwaterloo.ca.
