SHS Lite User Guide

A new feature, developed by Steven Hope of MORI Scotland, the SHS Lite User Guide has been developed to assist those interested in navigating and analysing SHS data using a simplified dataset for 1999/2000 and 2001/2002. The SHS Lite User Guide can be freely accessed on the web at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/library5/housing/shsug-00.asp.
