Hello students. Sending you all good wishes.
The videos and activities below have been created to help you find community information for your assignments. You will learn how to identify the municipal boundaries for your community (including census tract, community district, city council district and zip code), to find schools in your community and find school data and reports, and to find demographic information about your community.
Good luck with your research. Feel free to email me (alison.lehnerquam@lehman.cuny.edu) with any questions.
With warm regards,
Alison Lehner-Quam
Education Librarian.
