[ICPSR] ICPSR Webinar Invitation: Life of a Dataset Webcast Series Continues!

[Linda Detterman]

Join ICPSR for Parts II & III of the webinar series titled, “Life of a
Dataset.”  The remaining two webcasts will describe ICPSR’s data management
approach to processing and cleaning the data and to building metadata and
tools to ready the data for discovery and dissemination.


Whether you are collecting data, planning on sharing (depositing) data to
meet funding agency requirements, or interested in repository and archive
management, you will find lots of informative content and guidance.  Q&A
will be available during each session.

This stage in a dataset’s life will relate how the study’s description is
built and the metadata are enriched to aid discovery. We’ll consider how
the codebook and other materials are created, and what final steps are
taken to preserve the digital data in advance of their release. Finally, we
will talk about how the study is released, announced, and disseminated
through the ICPSR Web site.
