Finding Statistics Just Got Easier!

If you need to find out the number of people who speak Greek in North Carolina*, you're in luck! The GTCC Library recently began subscribing to an online database called Statistical Warehouse that makes finding statistics on any number of issues relatively painless. From languages spoken at home, to reported income, crimes, causes of death - you can find statistics on all these and many other demographic, social, health, and economic indicators.

Use this resource to find statistics for a paper or other research. Select relevant statistical facts and figures to support your argument or provide background information in a paper or project. Take a look at Statistical Warehouse and see what interesting facts and figures you can find.

* In 2000, 6,404 people in NC spoke Greek at home (from Statistical Warehouse, extracted from 2000 census files).

Constitution Day

GTCC will commemorate Constitution Day on September 18th with a series of classroom and related activities. The day marks the anniversary of the signing of the U. S. Constitution on September 17, 1787; the commemoration is part of federal law. September 18th is the day of classes closest to the actual anniversary of the signing.

On Monday noon, September 18th, Dr. Edward Sharpe will present "Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Impact of the Bush Administration on the Operation of Constitutional Checks and Balances." This keynote talk and audience discussion will take place in the Applied Technologies Auditorium at noon.
