E-Tutorials
The following are two video tutorials that illustrate use of some of the tools that we covered in the McCormick workshop. The audio on these may be dicey so they will likely be replaced.
American FactFinder Example:
This example walks a user through selecting a Geographic Comparison Table; downloading the data; and opening it up in Excel. If you know how to download/open in Excel, just stop watching at that point.

PDQ-Explore example:
This example illustrates a query that is not available in American FactFinder; how to produce the query in PDQ-Explore; with some digressions about PUMA definitions and weighting.

Another "Introduction to the Census"
This was a presentation by Farley and Neidert for an ICPSR webinar on censuses around the world. The USA presentation occurs at about the 45 minute mark. You can choose to watch it or just snag the slides.

PDQ Software: Updates
This is a newer version of the data (all the 2008 microdata files). We will have the 2009 1-year data available shortly. The 3-year and 5-year data will not be available until 2011.
The following is a link to the PDQ-Explore software that you used during the workshop. You will need to download the zip file to the C:\ drive on your PC.
