DLI Survival Guide: Overview
December 2, 2008Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada4
Plan is to move the Survival Guide onto a wiki:
User-driven
Easy for the community to expand and update
Statistics Canada cannot host a wiki - need an institution to volunteer to host it

Beyond DLI: Statistics Canada Site Search
For now, DLI does not have its own site search feature
SO…use Statistics Canada’s Site Searchhttp://www.statcan.gc.ca/search-recherche/index-eng.htm
BUT…choose “more results” to view results from DLI section of the site

Email addresses changed in August 2008:
(i.e. dlilist@statcan.gc.ca )
Phased-in conversion of the Statistics Canada website to CLF 2.0:
“We're improving our Website.In the months to come, sections will gradually be modified to implement the Government of Canada Common Look and Feel Standards for the Internet. This will provide you with easier navigation and the same reliable content.”
Beyond DLI: Common Look & Feel (CLF) 2.0
December 2, 2008Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada11
DLI web pages converted to CLF 2.0 on November 24
Standardised appearance
Content remains the same
URLs changed – and they will change again…
Redirects in place for at least 2 years…
Beyond DLI: Common Look & Feel (CLF) 2.0
December 2, 2008Statistics Canada • Statistique Canada12
Move the Survival Guide to a wiki
Complete work on the Collection Interface Prototype
Bring back the DLI-specific search feature
