Hints from the librarian 

Statistics Explained introduces European statistics. It is an official Eurostat website presenting statistical topics in an easily understandable way. Together, the articles make up an encyclopedia of European statistics for everyone, completed by a statistical glossary clarifying all terms used and by numerous links to further information and the latest data and metadata.

Eurostat Help: useful tips and brief explanation on how to find your way around the website.

Note that the working language in Eurostat is English. This means that the content in Eurostat is only available in English. However, there is an option to get a machine translation of the individual pages.
