DIRECTORY OF CULTURE AND LEISURE STATISTICS
The Directory of Culture and Leisure Statistics was released on the ABS Web site on 13th August 2002. The key aims of the directory are to provide a quick and easy reference to ABS sources of culture and leisure data, and provide information about the extent of data available from each data collection. The details provided about each collection's data items will assist users of culture and leisure data to determine whether a collection might meet their needs, and to prepare possible cross-tabulation specifications ready for discussion with ABS information consultants. Contact details are provided for each collection. Entries also provide information on the scope, frequency and history of a collection and the major publications that present data from the collection. The ABS developed this directory with financial assistance from the Cultural Ministers Council Statistics Working Group (CMC SWG) and the Recreation and Sport Industry Statistics Group (RSISG) of the Sport and Recreation Ministers' Council.
The Directory of Culture and Leisure Statistics (Cat. no. 1143.0.55.001) is a freely available Web-based product which can be viewed by clicking on ABS directories. There is a link to the directory from the Culture and Recreation Theme Page; or to find the directory from the home page of the ABS Web site, without going through the Culture and Recreation theme page, click on About Statistics, then Directory of Statistical Sources, open the twistie next to About the Directory of Statistical Sources, and click on Other ABS Directories.
