Modern information technology gives even young students access to tools & data resources that until recently were the exclusive privilege of a minority of university graduates. Focus here is on the concept of social science laboratories -- a teaching environment in which students are allowed to practice the role of social scientists through confrontation with concrete research material. Several ongoing projects & plans for future developments are discussed, & four laboratories based on comparative data for Europe are described. 2 Tables, 2 Illustrations.
