SPSS is a powerful and widely used statistics program. The abbreviation stands for Statistical Packages for Social Sciences, but the program is also used in all kinds of other courses. You can use SPSS to enter, edit, store and analyse your research data - useful if you have sent out surveys for your thesis, for instance. SPSS can also create graphs for you and help you make decisions supported by the data.
In this Library Guide, we have gathered some practical information on SPSS for you, including instructional videos, books and extensive Library Guides from other universities. We also tell you who to contact if you get stuck (this support is not provided by the Hanze Library, but by other colleagues within the Hanze).
