Reminders

• Download your final prior year data from FY 2013 WebPLUS for your vendor to prepare your current year file.

• WebPLUS Edits versus Internal Edits– Internal edits are used by Census for possible follow-

up.– States can have vendors program internal edits for

libraries to annotate during collection.– Internal edits are not run by the SDC’s in the

WebPLUS collection software.

Reminders

• Review and correct outlet addresses and phone numbers.

• Import your edit report after adding annotations.

• Use the Compare Tool for data editing.• Contact your mentors or Census for help.
