ABS wbsite changes

www.abs.gov.au
Go to the above site to see the changes. Below are the highlights
- the name change from 'Ausstats' to 'Statistics". The way you access the
statistics area of the web site has not changed.
- You now have 4 ways to navigate to ABS products from the 'Statistics'
entry page: by Catalogue number, by Release date, by Topic, and by Title.
- A new tabbed interface that brings all related material into a 'one-stop
shop'.
- A "Guide to Citing ABS Sources, accessible from the 'How Do I' section of
the Statistics entry page.
The downside of a redesign like this is that if you have bookmarked pages
within the old "AusStats" section, these may have been broken and therefore
will need to be relinked.
