Census 2006 - Discover your community: who are we and how we have changed


In conjunction with the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Miller along with other libraries in the institute has partnered to promote the first release of the latest census data.

A new look to part of the ABS web site enables enquirers to quickly find information via the ‘Quick stats , Census tables and Map stats’ options
(egg Liverpool LGA ) and includes the ability to browse by location or topic.

An information pack containing CDs, posters and related printed information is available in the library.

Other useful library online resources for regional and community information are:
Local community links -which includes a community services directory for all of NSW and references to other sites that cover Greater Western Sydney and provide industry, population and economic data.
80/20 a library subscription statistical database that targets existing census data for business and marketing purposes

Library system changeover -UNICORN

From 2 July 2007 TAFE libraries across the state will be swapping to a completely new and quite different library system, called UNICORN.

There will be a number of benefits as a result of the changeover (e.g. online renewals, more advanced search options, easier viewing of new title acquisitions etc) for users.

For further details and demonstrations of the web catalogue (IBistro ) contact the library.
