Re: [CTPP] Census Bureau ACS Content Review

Cliff-- That April 9 (last week) webinar was publicized, if you're in the right loop. Here's what I saw: * The host of the webinar, Data Users Group, sent an email 3/27/2014: "Your Webinar Invitation - Overview of the American Community Survey (ACS) 2014 Content Review." If you didn't receive that, you might not be on the ACS DUG distribution list. Follow up with their site? * Also, Census Bureau itself sent an 4/2/2014 email: "American Community Survey (ACS) Public Events in April." That came thru the Bureau's govdelivery system: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USCENSUS/subscriber/new?topic_id=US… I recommend subscribing to the topic "ACS Workshops and Webinars" (and while you're at it, the other ACS topics as well.) Webinars are not always advertised in the same place. But "webex" webinars that are organized by Census Bureau itself (the 4/9 webinar was not), you'll usually find listed here... http://www.census.gov/mso/www/training/ Hope that helps.

I was surprised to learn about this since I do not see it listed on the ACS Data Users Group web site. Do you know how the notification was distributed?

Under the review process ALL of the questions on the ACS questionnaire will be carefully reviewed with what many believe could lead to a smaller questionnaire with less content. With that said users with an interest in the ACS will want to listen to the webinar. https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/523049553 When you go to the link you will be asked to provide your email address and a couple of other pieces of information. -- Ed Christopher _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news@chrispy.net<mailto:ctpp-news@chrispy.net> https://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news
