Statistical Data Catalog Link Problems
The Statistical Data Catalog is still experiencing some problems with links. Our systems group is working on the problem. Thank you for your patience.
General Social Survey- Supplement Opportunities
Can the General Social Survey contribute to your research area?
Note the following opportunity announced by ICPSR from NORC (National Opinion Research Center):
For the 2010 General Social Survey (GSS) funds are expected from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support added supplements. Proposals for topics for these NSF-funded modules are solicited from the social science community. The program is described at:
"Call for Proposals to Add Questions to the 2010 GSS"
Please note the submission deadline of October 1, 2009.
In addition, the GSS expects to have space available on the survey for modules not funded by NSF. Those who want to fund a paid supplement on the 2010 GSS should consult the document at
"Guidelines for Paid Supplements to the GSS."
If you have any questions about either program, please contact Tom W. Smith, GSS Director, smitht@norc.uchicago.edu

Demographic Analysis with ArcGIS: Geostatistics Workshop
2:00 - 4:00 pm, June 18, 2008 Gasson 9
The focus of this workshop will be on the use of ArcGIS to analyze demographic data. The session will highlight GIS data available for research and include demonstrations of ArcGIS using cases based on Census and related data. Most Census data are available for many levels of geography, including states, counties, cities and towns, ZIP codes, census tracts and blocks.
Census data and GIS applications are used by community planners, marketing, managers, scientists and researchers in education, economists, sociologists, social workers, health care managers, librarians, and data administrators.
International population data are available also to address demographic issues in a specific country, at regional or at global scale. We will discuss these resources with those interested. No prior knowledge of ArcGIS is required.
Barbara Mento and Constantin Andronache
To register, please send email to researchservices@bc.edu with the names of the tutorials that you are interested in attending.
