title: Complex Files: Pasting and Cutting with SPSS

description: Some surveys contain multiple units of observation, while others come in many parts. This workshop will give participants hands-on experience using both types of files. The General Social Survey, Cycle 8 and the Canadian Travel Surveys will be used as examples. (Note: Data associated with this presentation is available on the DLI FTP site under folder 1873-216.)

title: DDI Publishing: A Hands-on Workshop

description: This workshop will provide hands-on experience in marking up a Statistics Canada dataset using Nesstar Publisher. This workshop is Part 3 of a continuing series on Understanding DDI (Data Documentation Initiative). Nesstar Publisher is a software/hardware product which allows users to markup documents in XML (EXtensible Markup Language) using DDI specifications. A brief overview will act as a refresher to the DDI specifications before the exercise begins. The exercise will provide users with a start to finish example of creating a DDI compliant dataset. Participants will each be provided with access to a Statistics Canada dataset, a workbook and access to Nesstar Publisher. With guidance from the instructors, participants will learn how to create a unique template, fill in tags and publish the dataset onto a Nesstar server. (Note: Data associated with this presentation is available on the DLI FTP site under folder 1873-218.)

title: Building Infrastructure and Alliances to Meet Common Goals: The Creation of a Canadian Public Opinion Data Index

description: The University of Connecticut's Canadian Studies, the Roper Center, and the University of Toronto's Robarts Library were awarded a small grant to develop a set of finding aids to unlock the Canadian opinion archives for the purpose of strengthening Canadian Studies Programs in both Canada and the United States. The Canadian Embassy funded the pilot project, the result of which is Canadian iPOLL (CPOLL). This paper discusses the decision-making and collaboration in creating this resource. The design of CPOLL is built upon experiences garnered from two other Roper Center databases: iPOLL (U.S. opinion data) and JPOLL (Japanese opinion data). Collaboration with Canadian data experts assured understanding of cultural nuances, political processes, and the nature of data collection in Canada. The paper addresses efforts to assure consistency in the development of metadata, including coding of topics of coverage, and the decisions involving the selection process, from time period for inclusion to assuring a broad set of sources. Finally, this paper explores the lessons learned from this endeavor and implications for further facilitating cross-national opinion research and creating multiple country databases in the future.

title: An Update from Statistics Canada

description: In 1971, Statistics Canada became one of the first agencies to utilise a Geographic Information System (GIS) in support of the Canadian Census. Today, GIS is an integral part of a number of statistical programs at the Agency useful for internal operations, analysis and dissemination. Bernie Gloyn will review how the agency is making use of GIS in its statistical program and new developments to expect with the 2006 Census. This presentation will touch on the geography products/tools available from the 2001 Census, a historical perspective on Census data by some unique geographies, the available 2005 road network files before the Census, improvements with the postal code file, and what is coming for 2006.

title: Introducing Data into Canadian Academic Libraries: The Straw that Didn’t Break the Camel's Back

description: A decade ago, Canadian universities and Statistics Canada embarked on a joint adventure called the Data Liberation Initiative (DLI). While this initiative greatly increased the availability of data for academic research and instruction, it also created new challenges for the librarians and information professionals who were confronted with the task of organizing and supporting access to these resources. This paper will examine the challenges involved in the introduction of data into the traditional academic library. The experience of Canada’s DLI will be used to illustrate the types of issues involved and the approaches used in the Canadian context to address them. The paper will conclude by identifying the best practices that have emerged after a decade of experience in developing, refining and promoting the use of data as a means of strengthening the underpinnings for teaching and research.

title: Creating a Repository of Training Materials: The Canadian Experience

description: Over the past nine years, many presentations, demonstrations, and workshops have been given at the four annual training sessions for the Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) across Canada. These sessions are rich in content and remain useful long after the initial presentation. However, if one were looking for a certain item, there was often a difficulty finding it because the material was stored in an ad hoc fashion and not archived in a central location. This became increasingly problematic for the trainers as the number of sessions grew. The Education Committee of the DLI was examining this issue and the idea of a Training Repository (TR) was born. The enthusiastic responses given at the latest training sessions, which introduced the TR, reaffirmed the need for it. And everyone was pleased to see the ease of retrieving a session. Currently there are over 150 presentations in the TR. This presentation examines the history of the Training Repository, the criteria used to choose the program that houses it, and the processes used to populate it.

title: Basic Forms of Citation for Statistics and Data: Towards an Accepted Standard

description: We present the basic forms of citation (formats and elements) developed for statistics, data, and maps products at Statistics Canada. From these models 80 examples have been created to become the citation standards of the organization. We also discuss the relationship between these standards and the ISO 690, 690-2 revision to include examples of statistics, data, and maps citation in the new ISO bibliographic standard, and the opportunities for IASSIST and the data community to be part of this process.

title: Developing a Framework for Quantitative Literacy: Counting on IASSIST

description: If there were a real question regarding the need for progress in Quantitative Literacy (QL), the 2003 International Adult Literacy Skills Survey's results on numeracy are illustrative of the answer. Of the seven participating countries, only Norway and Switzerland have a majority of their total populations able to function at a minimum level for success in everyday numeric situations. A problem in developing a QL program at the tertiary level is that it lacks a disciplinary home. While there is general agreement within the academy that it is an essential element of an overall education, no department appears willing to make QL a part of its curriculum. In contrast, standards in Information Literacy have been long-established and have gained wide acceptance. This paper will examine the processes by which these programs have become mainstream, and recommend approaches to develop a QL framework based on best practices.
