FYI Dan Walters National Map Liaison for ME, MA & RI USGS 196 Whitten Road Augusta, Maine 04330 207-776-1293 [log in to unmask] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David J Kraiker (CENSUS/CLMSO FED) <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, May 26, 2016 at 2:42 PM Subject: CENSUS WEBINARS AVAILABLE To: From: David Kraiker, Census Bureau The following is a list of webinars that I will be running over the next few months. There is always a "geography" element to each of these presentations. Additionally, I often show how to get health insurance/disability statistics--so this might be of interest to some people. This is a dataset I usually show when giving KNACK OF THE CENSUS TRACT. Although these are my own webinars, please be advised that my colleagues are also giving webinars. You can find all Census Bureau webinars listed here (including mine): http://www.census.gov/mso/www/training/index.html My own webinars: *MAP TAB LAB* This webinar will explore the little-used Map Tab functionality within the Census Bureau's American Factfinder portal. This is a handy tool for those who like to select areas visually, or who work in GIS. Presentation will show how to select data and download shapefiles from American Factfinder.
