Accounting 5180 --
Since we are sharing the desk, you might also get questions about this accounting class. We have the FARS data on CD-ROM, on the middle machine below the horses picture (marked CD-ROM OMWL BusRef1).
There is also a manual that goes with it -
Wallace, Wanda A., 1953- Mastery of the Financial Accounting Research System (FARS) through cases / Wanda A. Wallace. New York : J. Wiley, c2003.
TC Wilson Library Business Reference HF5679 .W35 2003
The CD-ROM and manual are not the current pronouncements (CD-ROM is marked 2004 and manual was published in 2003 - although they came together when we purchased them).
Current pronouncements are in print only - 2005/06 is the latest on the shelf...
Accounting standards. Original pronouncements / Financial Accounting Standards Board. Stamford, Conn. : The Board ; New York : Distributed by McGraw-Hill, c1982-

Since it sounds like the students may be coming in during the evenings, we might see them on Monday nights.

Course Information: Acct 5180
I'm teaching an advanced accounting course where I am asking the students to do some research on accounting pronouncements.
Specifically, I would like them to research using the FARS system.
It is an evening class, so I'm hoping they can do the research using the busref.lib.umn.edu website.
Do the students have access to the accounting pronouncements via the web, or must they go to Wilson Library to do this?
John Adams' Geography Class where they have to pick an MSA, define the Central Business District, pick some tracts and find some data is starting up again. The assignment said to pick an MSA of at least 250,000 but to otherwise "stick to smaller MSAs". So, I've got a list in the current assigments folder with all MSAs in 2000 between 250,000 and 1 million. I was showing a student how to find an MSA of a given size and ended up w/the file and figured I might as well print and keep it.
They may use either 2000 or 1990. If they choose 2000 though, the maps will be all digital. This assignment may be a bit easier in print...
Finally, on the subject of Central Business Districts, the Census Bureau says this:
"A central business district (CBD) is an area of very high land valuation characterized by a high concentration of retail businesses, service businesses, offices, theaters, and hotels, and by a very high traffic flow. A CBD was defined in the 1982 Census of Retail Trade to follow existing census tract boundaries; that is, it consisted of one or more whole census tracts.
The Census Bureau discontinued the CBD program following the 1982 Census of Retail Trade. "
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cbd.html
The tracts for CBDs as of 1982 can be found in the Major Retail Centers volumes (C 3.255/5: RC 82-C-#) in the Appendix covering "Boundary Descriptions".
