Several workshops and instructional sessions are described...[and] handouts for some sessions are included. These...activities are described in the context of budgetary and service issues faced by libraries providing access to census data in electronic formats.... The success of these efforts is assessed, and libraries' response to new expectations for service is also discussed."
