Proposed changes in outputs for the 2001 Census : Area Statistics, Samples of Anonymised Records (SARS), Migration Statistics, Workplace Statistics, the ONS Longitudinal Study - inclusion of the 2001 Census, boundary data, look up tables, flexible outputs from the 2001 Census.<br> 4. ESRC/JISC Census Programme services : registration procedures, help with census data, documentation and training, methods of access, software for extraction and analysis of census data, shape of the ESRC/JISC Census Programme after 2001.<br> <br> Measurement Scales<br> The main scale used was a five-part categorisation of usefulness/importance for the respondent's research :<br> essential; highly desirable; of interest; very low priority; not of interest.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 11 August 1997 - 30 November 1997 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> United Kingdom <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Individuals <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> National <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Academic users of the Census of Population, mainly faculty (teaching and research) staff in universities, in the United Kingdom during 1997. </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Cross-sectional (one-time) study <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> 1200 questionnaires were sent to all social science departments in UK universities and to all individuals on various ESRC/JISC Census Programme lists. <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> 1200 (target) 140 (obtained) <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Postal survey </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
