This workshop will include an introduction to the data services offered by 
Census.ac.uk and is aimed at those studying or working in the UK higher and 
further education sector, but is not limited to those already registered to use 
the census.

At this workshop users will be introduced to the activities of the Centre for 
Interaction Data Estimation and Research (CIDER) and the Web-based 
Interface to Census Interaction Data (WICID) data extraction system.

The Centre for Longitudinal Study Information and User Support (CeLSIUS) will 
introduce the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study, discussing data 
sources and structure, offering suggestions for research topics and designs, 
showing how to access the data and giving participants an opportunity to 
explore the data for themselves using two teaching datasets. These will cover 
the subjects of ethnicity and limiting long term illness but will demonstrate 
how the data can be used more widely for many other research topics. It 
would be helpful, but not obligatory, to have a basic knowledge of SPSS.

The workshop is free to attend and includes lunch and refreshments. However 
travel and accommodation costs will need to be met by the participants.

Time: 10.30 (registration and refreshments at 10.00)
Date: Friday, 8 January 2010
Place: Qualiti Training Room (0.88) and The Committee Rooms, School of
