(IPUMS) Integrated Public Use Microdata Series
This PowerPoint presentation details the uses of IPUMS, the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. This microdata can be used when examining census statistics to "build your own tables to answer questions the summary file tables don't answer." PUMS was the Public Use Microdata Sample, which had issues including a \"tricky hierarchal format.\" IPUMS, from the University of Minnesota, is an online data extraction engine that is available free on the Web.

Recapturing History
Gebeloff uses a PowerPoint Presentation to show how to use IPUMS (Integrated Public Use Microdata), a website maintained by the University of Minnesota, to find trends. IPUMS uses data collected by the census but analyzes them in ways the official census has not published. He shows, for example, a table showing where self-employed Chinese who work in Manhattan live. This was not published by the Census.
