The Seattle TMG Users Group will meet Saturday, Dec. 8, 2:00-4:30 p.m. (see Note below), at Broadview Library, 130th & Greenwood Ave. N. If driving, please park on the surrounding streets, as Seattle Public Library neighborhood branches reserve their parking lots for Library patrons. Metro Route #5 travels north and south along Greenwood Ave. From Northgate Transit Center, Route #302 travels west along 130th, then north on Greenwood. From Aurora Village Transit Center, Route #302 travels south on Greenwood, then east on 130th. All bus stops at that intersection are less than a block from the Library entrance. The main topic this month will be using various TMG tools to help us prepare for the release of the 1930 Census in April 2002. We'll first design a report (using the CRW) to help identify people already in a dataset who would likely be enumerated in the 1930 census. For people newly added to a dataset, TMG tools for designating those likely to appear in the 1930 Census will be demonstrated. A major finding aid for people enumerated in the 1930 Census will be city and county directories, since Soundex microfilm will not be available for a majority of states. During the last hour, we'll discuss setting up city and county directories as sources, then demonstrate various ways of entering directory information into TMG. And lastly, we'll discuss the design of reports (again using the CRW) you might want to run before you head to the Archives. Note: The first 30 minutes [2:00-2:30] will be spent (briefly) setting up the meeting room (chairs and tables). It will also be a time for those relatively new to TMG to ask questions and get answers on TMG basics. At 2:30, when everyone has arrived, we'll go around the room for introductions and another TMG Q&A opportunity, before launching into the main topic. To help us prepare enough handouts, please RSVP to [email protected] if you plan on joining us Dec. 8. Thanks!
