The Census Bureau just released the second set of 3-year ACS estimates, 
reflecting data collected from 2006 to 2008.  The “2005-2009” 5-year 
estimates are just a year away.  How will data users navigate these 
various streams of multi-year data?  In this webinar, Cynthia M. Taeuber 
   will provide best practices and guidance for using the multi-year ACS 
products.

Experts from the U.S. Census Bureau will discuss the population controls
and their relationship to the ACS multi-year estimates.  There will also 
be an overview of the ACS website to show users where to locate key 
tools and documents to assist with the multi-year products.

The webinar will assume participants have at least an intermediate level
of knowledge of the ACS.  Participants may review introductory level
materials on the ACS website in advance.
