ICPSR’s Eclipsed Summer Byte

As the moon passes over the sun, we pause for a moment to look to the sky,
then return our focus to the halls of ICPSR. We’re ablaze with activity as
staff teach for the Summer Program, transform our data management systems,
and plan for the upcoming ICPSR Meeting! It's time to take a moment to
share archive updates in the 2017 summer "Total Eclipse" edition of
DataBytes.

ICPSR Meeting – Have You Registered?

The 2017 ICPSR Meeting
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/or/ormeet/index.html>
starts in less than two months! With more than 17 workshops and sessions,
this biennial meeting will highlight ICPSR’s core functions including
current data collections and data-related tools and exciting new data
projects. The meeting will also impart practical approaches and strategies
to work with data producers to share data, write data management plans, and
locate tools and resources to assist in curating and managing research
data. Register here

A Galaxy of Workshops Offered

The ICPSR Meeting features a full day of workshops on Wednesday, October
11. Take an introductory tour through various statistical software used in
data analysis, explore the research methods behind our metadata, learn
about best practices for curating and managing research data, delve into
resources to incorporate real data (and documentation!) into the
curriculum, and explore the delivery of ICPSR data and related resources
in-depth – all in one day! See workshop descriptions

OR Tools: Linking to ICPSR Encouraged!

websites and LibGuides. Our response is an enthusiastic, “Yes!” We
encourage it. We suggest that when using in-text linking, that you use ICPSR
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/landing.jsp> in the text (as shown)

ICPSR Bulletin Flares with News!

ICPSR 101, staff innovators, DataLumos, #LoveYourDataWeek, and data
preservation make up ICPSR’s most recent path of totality
<https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/eclipse-glossary#for_row27>. All of these
activities, and more, are featured in the latest ICPSR Bulletin

The ICPSR Deposit Manager – an Astronomical Improvement

The new ICPSR deposit system was launched this spring. The deposit manager
provides the depositor more control over how data and documentation files
are presented to the ICPSR curation team and more communication regarding
project status and updates. The deposit manager is really a customizable
deposit workspace that provides depositors with more flexibility in terms
of accepted files types and sizes, project deposit collaboration space, and
a history and deposit status that will initiate with your first deposit
into our new system. A demonstration of the ICPSR Deposit Manager
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAPzG4feqVs&t=40s> is available on ICPSR’s
YouTube channel.

Seeking Data for the Next Generation

ICPSR seeks data for curation and reuse now and for the future.
Recommendations from the data community are critical in locating data and
encouraging researchers to share and preserve their data. Know of data on
your campus, on a floppy drive, or in a drawer? Please contact us to suggest
data to archive <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/deposit/suggest.jsp>!
