Providing census and other statistical data in an academic library

Peter Hyland and Lynne Wright

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a year-long study of users of CLIB91, a census data package, in an academic library. The results of this study are used to critically evaluate CLIB91 and both strengths and weaknesses with the package are highlighted. The paper goes on to recommend the use of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Internet site as a complementary source of census data for academic users.
