There are intermittent problems connecting directly from the Catalogue to some titles in GVRL, eg Complete dictionary of scientific biography, with IE. Gale is aware of the problem and looking into it.

If you see a “can not display this web page” message, refreshing the page may help. Otherwise, go directly to GVRL and access the required title from there.

FYI – technical response from Gale:
“With our newer platforms such as GVRL 4.0 there are additional authentication steps (redirections) that are taking place. IE 7.0 from what we have been able to determine has a limit on the number of redirections it will accept.”

Infoshare, a tool for accessing time-series data, is now available from Statistics New Zealand.

With Infoshare you can find, customise and download a range of time-series data such as:
** economic information (eg price indexes, labour market and production figures)
** demographic measures (eg population estimates and projections)
** arrival and departure data
** wholesale and retail trade information
** export and imports data
** building consents data
** exchange rates.

Enhancements to Infoshare are planned for the coming months. These will provide equivalent functionality to INFOS and you will be able to:
** find and download detailed exports and imports data (by HS code and country)
** save queries for reuse
** use time-series identifiers to find specific data.

INFOS will still be available for at least 60 days after the release of these enhancements. About Infoshare
