Statistical Abstract to be Eliminated

statabstractInformation Today reports that the latest Census Bureau budget calls for the elimination of several publications including the popular Statistical Abstract.  The Census Bureau apparently feels that the Statistical Abstract only contains data that is found elsewhere on the internet so it should be canceled.

“Save the Statistical Abstract” awareness programs have sprung up, including one from the American Library Association

I often use the Statistical Abstract as a starting place when I’m not sure which federal agency would have the statistics I need. It’s a convenient one stop shop for statistics of all sorts.

So check out the Statistical Abstract online while it still exists. We even have the paper version in the library.
