Getting Ready to Use Census 2000 Data: Educating Your Boss! Author: ' B. Williamson 3620 S. Vermont Ave Phone: 213-740-1767 Census 2000 is underway as we meet. The first data for GIS professionals will be the redistricting data due for release by April 1, 2001. In the meantime you will need to assess your own census-related skills and knowledge and those of other people likely to work with or be "consumers" of Census 2000 data. Do they know about the changes? How will Census 2000 data be managed in your organization as all the data will be available on the Internet? Who will make decisions about using adjusted or unadjusted data? A new Virtual Campus course on Census 2000 will be previewed. |
