SASPAC User Manual
An updated version of the User Manual is currently in production and is expected to be available to all users in the Spring. This will provide detailed documentation and guidance relating to SASPAC, Mapshore, the Web Publishing tool as well as recent Censuses. In addition, this will also update the existing "help on SASPAC" file within the software.

2001 Specially Commissioned Tables
There are now 359 Specially Commissioned Tables available in SASPAC and downloadable from http://www.saspac.org/Specially_Commissioned_Tables.html. Due to the large number of tables these have now been split into 2 separate datasets to aid searching - all instructions and necessary files are also available through the website. More...

Looking towards 2011
The SASPAC team has already started to think about what SASPAC will look like in 2011. Although still in the very early stages we will be consulting with users and asking for input throughout the development process to ensure user needs are met. We are currently listening closely and fully involved with the Census Agencies 2011 consultations and will be conducting our own user questionnaires, workshops and roadshows to assist us in this process. We will keep you all posted with any developments through the e-bulletin and our website.

As always if you have any SASPAC issues or comments please contact the helpdesk.
