ALA's Map and Geography Round Table (MAGERT) is pleased to present an ALA

"Census 2000: Opportunities and Challenges"

This program will present the wealth and variety of information available
from the 2000 Census. Speakers include a representative from the Census who
will talk about what data and geography will be available, representatives
from two companies that repackage TIGER files/census data on what products
they are developing, and a map librarian and a government documents
librarian will respond to the speakers and discuss what services they are
planning on providing to their users. Speakers: Jerry O'Donnell, Public
Information Officer, U.S. Bureau of the Census; Angela Lee, Libraries and
K-12, Environmental Systems Research Institute; Craig Cornelius, President,
GeoLytics; Barbara Levergood, Electronic Documents Librarian, University of

Hope to see you there.  Check out the rest of MAGERT's San Francisco
