through updated and more user-friendly data interfaces from data discovery,

curators undertake as they care for data brought into ICPSR's holdings.

ICPSR Hosts New U.S. Census Bureau Data Repository!

A new U.S. Census Bureau Data Repository
<https://census.icpsr.umich.edu/census/> has been launched to preserve and
disseminate survey instruments, specifications, data dictionaries,
codebooks, and other materials provided by the Census Bureau. This
repository helps fulfill key recommendations made by the 2017 "Report of
the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking." Specifically, the
repository improves transparency by establishing a "searchable inventory,
through which the public can learn about the data that government
collects." See the press release
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/about/news.jsp?node=882> for more
details.

A Final Forecast for Winter 2018

Stay tuned to ICPSR communications for *participation* in Endangered Data
Week, February 26-March 2. Endangered Data Week
<http://endangereddataweek.org/> is a new, collaborative effort,
coordinated across campuses, nonprofits, libraries, citizen science
initiatives, and cultural heritage institutions, to shed light on public
datasets that are in danger of being deleted, repressed, mishandled, or
lost. Saving data is not a spectator sport!
