[Libs-Or] Helping library users with Census data? ALA needs examples!

[Arlene Weible]

The ALA Washington Office is looking for examples of libraries helping users access Census Bureau data. Please send any examples from your local community to Gavin Baker, whose contact info is below.
Here is their specific request:
"We are particularly looking for specific stories that illustrate the impact that libraries have in helping their communities find and use this data. We would be especially interested in examples where the data user was, for instance, a local business, government agency, or community organization. The example might be a library providing outreach, a workshop or seminar, a partnership, reference services, etc. Please include the library's name and location along with a specific description of the example. These examples may be used for publication. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!
