Workshop 2: The Future of Data Dissemination at the U.S. Census Bureau

Ballroom

The Census Bureau is establishing a new paradigm in data dissemination, one where data users will no longer need to know which tools to use on www.census.gov. Instead, they will simply start searching to find statistics, maps, web pages, and the other great Census Bureau products they need. In this session, participants will learn about the history of data dissemination at the Census Bureau and about the new platform, currently known as data.census.gov, designed as a preview for customers to provide feedback. In addition to a live demonstration of the preview platform, attendees will get a look at upcoming features and learn about the ways that Census.gov will change more broadly once the new search platform is migrated into the website.
