Using Census Data

The last workshop in the three-part series on "Using Census Data" will take place next Tuesday May 29th From 12:30 to 2:30 PM in the Skylight Room, 17 Lexington Avenue at 23rd Street. The program is on "Using the NYCRDC and LED and LEDH Data." It will provide an overview of non-public Census microdata available through the reseach facilities of the New York Census Research Data Center (NYCRDC) at Baruch. It will also cover New York State labor market data available through the Local Employment Dynamics (LED) and Longitudinal Employer-Houshold Dynamics (LEHD) programs. This session should help librarians learn when to refer users to the CRDC.

The first workshop, held last April, covered "What Kinds of Data Does the Census Bureau Collect?" and was conducted by Rosemarie Fogarty, Information Specialist, US Census Bureau. It is now available in Baruch's Digital Media Library. Ms. Fogarty provides an overview of the Census Bureau data, using the Census’s website as the starting point. If you haven't explored the Census web site in depth this presentation will help.
