Statistics Helpdesk

My soon-to-be colleague Lindsay Stirton points out to me an innovative and potentially useful service funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). It is a free statistics helpdeak provided by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics of the Lancaster University. UK academics could register themselves to obtain "help and guidance on statistical matters, including questionnaire design, statistical analysis of data, use of statistical packages, design of experiments and data display." More information can be found here. Lindsay tells me that over at the University of East Anglia, a similar walk-up service is also available to staff and students.
