U.S. Census Bureau Catalog and Guide

Describes data products issued by the Census Bureau. This report also describes programs and services. In addition, it provides abstracts of the publications, maps, CD-ROMs, computer tapes, diskettes, and items on line. The abstracts include the data time, the geographic scope, and the subject content, along with ordering information. The report also provides guide features, such as a telephone contact list for data specialists at the Census Bureau, the State Data Centers, and other data processing service centers, as well as a list of Federal and census depository libraries. Other guide features include an overview, detailed subject and title indexes, descriptions of key Federal reports, and special charts--for example, a guide to topics from the Current Population Survey data files.
