I am in need of statistics in the areas of

1. microcomputer sales in Canada and the US in the last decade, year

2. micrcomputers in the home, and their use

3. availability of microcomputers (schools, etc.) to non-owners

4. computer literacy among various segments of the population and age groups


Since we are a distance education institution, our research library is not
extensive. I would appreciate any pointers towards sources for information
of this type.

If this stuff is available in any of the online databases, I would particularly
like to know. I haven't explored these as sources of information, but need
a good excuse to do so.

Thanks.
