"Putting Data to Work for Immigrants and Communities: Tools for the Washington DC Metro Area and Beyond" by Suzette Brooks Masters, Kimberly A. Hamilton and Jill Wilson, March 2004 - $12 plus shipping

Information about immigrants--where they are from, where they live, and how they fare--has never been more important, or plentiful. At the same time, community organizations are working to respond to changing regional dynamics, often with limited resources. This report argues that it is vitally important for organizations to integrate fact-based knowledge of immigration into their day-to-day operations. The publication provides, in an easy to use fashion, the major data sources, training providers, data-related publications, and other useful contacts in metro DC area government, Census Bureau satellites, and universities that can be helpful to organizations working with immigrants or anyone interested in US immigration data. While the report focuses on the DC metropolitan region, the resource guide is relevant for all. The publication comes with a pullout wall chart with condensed guidelines for finding data and training. 20 pages. Comes with wall chart.
