Did you know that the Census Bureau has more than 50 different tools available? Explore census.gov with Data Dissemination Specialist Nicole McKenzie and learn where to find and how to use a variety of data access tools that can quickly provide a snapshot of your community or state. Through short live demos you will gain insights about tools and resources such as QuickFacts, Narrative Profiles, Interactive Maps, and more.

Following this workshop, attendees will be able to understand, access, and use Census Bureau data, which can be helpful to libraries for community research and outreach, program planning, and resource allocation.
