I’ve added my voice to John Robson from Waikato about the lack of printed copies of the 2006 census. If you agree, you might wish to email the Stats NZ representative mentioned in John’s NZ Lib’s posting.

Is anybody else missing the publication of hard copy versions of the 2006 Census?

Apparently Stats NZ decided not to print them anymore after consultation with their users! It would be interesting to know if that included Librarians and the users of Library collections.

Academics and students here at Waikato continue to ask for the hard copy versions so we feel there is definitely a need for Stats NZ to continue printing them as well as making them available online.

Could anyone who feels as we do please contact Victoria Treliving at Stats NZ

Victoria.Treliving@stats.govt.nz and let her know your concern.

Thanks
