ICPSR's Winter Byte

The snowflakes are falling and the temperature reads 5°F (-15°C), so it  
must be time for our winter edition of DataBytes !


The Temperature is rising for the 2013 Summer Program!

Registration will soon be open for the 2013 Summer Program in Quantitative  
Methods! The four-week courses run June 24-July 19 and July 22-August 16.  
Several three- to five-day workshops are also in development. Sign up to  
receive email notifications regarding registration and/or watch for  
announcements on our social media pages!

Save the Date - The 2013 ICPSR Biennial Meeting!

ICPSR welcomes all Official and Designated Representatives (ORs/DRs) and  
interested members to the 2013 ICPSR Meeting, October 9-11, on the campus  
of The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The program committee is  
developing the perfect combination of training content and networking  
events based on your feedback. The committee is also ordering perfect fall  
weather for the meeting! More information to come in February.

Stay Warm with ICPSR's Winter Webinars

Whether you are interested in getting familiar with ICPSR's data curation  
services, data tools, unique data collections, or instructional resources,  
or you desire in-depth "how-to-use" orientation sessions, we have webinars  
to suit your needs. We are currently in the midst of a three-part series  
outlining the "Life of a Dataset" with almost a dozen more planned through  
June. Missed one? All recordings and slides are posted on ICPSR's YouTube  
channel.

Online, In-Depth Orientation to ICPSR - Starts February 4!

ICPSR is pleased to announce "In-Depth with ICPSR," a webinar series  
designed to provide a thorough orientation to the data and education  
services offered by ICPSR. Join us for all or select any of interest from  
six webcasts designed especially for those new to ICPSR. Get familiar with  
our data, our tools and services related to our data, and our training and  
educational resources.

ICPSR on YouTube?

That's right! ICPSR has its own channel on YouTube. Visit our channel to  
find more than 80 videos that highlight our data services, unique datasets  
or collections, user support (get help) tutorials, our undergraduate  
interns, and our Summer Program faculty. Looking for slides or a recording  
from a past ICPSR webinar or Data Fair? You'll find all our webcasts and  
materials on the ICPSR YouTube channel.


Call for Council Nominations

ICPSR is accepting Council nominations for the 3/2014 - 2/2018 term. Please

Adding to ICPSR's Hall of Fame

As part of its mission to support the social sciences, ICPSR presents  
biennial awards to individuals who have distinguished themselves in their  
service to the social science community. We invite you to help us identify  
the 2013 winners of the Warren E. Miller Award for Meritorious Service to  
the Social Sciences and the William H. Flanigan Award for Distinguished  
Service as an ICPSR Official Representative. Email nominations to  
mf-awards at icpsr.umich.edu by March 26, 2013.

Toting 50 Years of the Summer Program!

The ICPSR Summer Program is celebrating 50 years of training in  
quantitative methods of social science research! Celebratory receptions are  
tentatively scheduled to be held at the Midwest Political Science  
Association (MPSA) and the American Political Science Association (APSA)  
meetings. Visit us at the ICPSR exhibit booths at these meetings for more  
information!


Planning for the Future - Prepare to Provide Input!

ICPSR is in the process of updating its strategic plan. As a member of our  
data community, we would like to obtain your feedback and an invitation for  
input will be coming this spring.
