Abstract
This paper describes a study of users of externally derived statistical data (EDSD) in academic, business, government and non-government organisations. It clarifies the terms casual user, naive user and novice user and applies these concepts to categorise the survey respondents. The survey reveals that users of EDSD are far more varied than has been previously thought. The paper identifies the type of interfaces that are suitable for casual or naive users, particularly for users of EDSD
