Statistically Speaking is the name of the Australian Bureau of Statistics blog for “librarians and other like-minded information professionals featuring the latest information, news, tips and stories relating to the Australian Bureau of Statistics”.
It is updated regularly, with about 4 to 5 posts each week, usually highlighting a new or relevant statistical release from the ABS or other government body. I easily find something useful to my library service on a regular basis also, whether its library funding numbers, updated local demographic figures and more.
I have become a lot more aware of what the ABS is putting out now as a result of this blog and have been able to be more proactive in keeping our library managers aware of information relevant to or about our community.
This is definitely one to get in your feed reader
