Hi Daphne,
Hope things have been going well! I'm not sure whether or not you still
check your Princeton email and/or the listserv messages, but we thought
we'd try contacting you this way to get help with a Babase question...
I'm entering the data for another demography update and the question of
incomplete census procedures has come up. I don't think this is
something we talked about last fall (sorry if I've forgotten, though!),
perhaps because most censuses in recent years have been complete.
Jeanne, Susan, Leah, Karl and I have been talking about some different
possibilities for how to get the data in the system and we were
wondering how you had handled it (or how it was handled before your
time, if you know). Did you use demography notes? Separate census
files specific to a single day and only the individuals with confirmed
presences? Manual entry?
Thanks for any advice/input you might have! Give Rico and Shumba our best!!
Catherine
