Greetings from St. Pete/Tampa:
Something significant happened quietly for us at the end of March.
ResourceShelf celebrated its 9th birthdate. If you want to revisit
the very first ResourceShelf post, on March 27, 2001, you'll find it
in our archives. Guess what it was about? Right -- search engines!
<http://digbig.com/5bbkab>
We continue to update the site continually, severa times a day, every
day. So be sure to visit regularly to make sure you don't miss
something cool/useful.
To our long-time readers, thanks for sticking with us for all these
years. We will strive to continue being informative, interesting and
useful.
Have a great week.

Resource of the Week - Facts for Features from the U.S. Census Bureau
By Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor
Direct link to this post online: <http://digbig.com/5bbkfn>
Facts for Features and Special Editions consist of collections of
statistics from the Census Bureau's demographic and economic subject
areas intended to commemorate anniversaries or observances or to
provide background information for topics in the news.
That's a modest description of how awesome this particular Census
Bureau is. And it is an archive, with individual releases dated back
to January 2000.
If you're a reference librarian...or a school librarian...or a news
librarian, you're well aware of the holiday calendar throughout the
year. And you know that someone will always ask for information and
statistics about a particular holiday or commemorative event. This
site is one of those 'Check Here First' resources, designed to save
you time scrounging for this stuff on the Web or elsewhere.
Besides all of the popular holidays, there's also information here
about lesser-known annual events, such as:
* Grandparents Day
* Older Americans Month
* Unmarried and Single Americans Week (Who knew?)
Also included - ethnic/racial commemorations, such as:
* Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month
* Black (African-American) History Month
* Cinco de Mayo
* Irish-American Heritage Month
The Census Bureau also issues 'Special Editions' of Facts for
Features, such as:
* 2010 Hurricane Season Begins
* Census Historical Highlights: 1790 - 2010
* Super Bowl XLIV
* Indianapolis Motor Speedway 100th Anniversary
You can keep up with new releases of Facts for Features via RSS. Or if
you're the old-school mailing list type, subscribe to the Census
Bureau's news release list and you'll be alerted to Facts for Features
releases as well as other Census Bureau news.
