Spring into ICPSR for a Bit!

The sun is shining, the flowers are out, and ICPSR is blossoming with many
bits and bytes to share!

Enjoy Summer. Plan for Fall. The ICPSR Fall Data Fair Begins on October 1!

Save the date! More details for ICPSR's fully online, five-day Data Fair
will be announced soon. This Data Fair, the fifth of its kind, consists of
3-4 webinars per day focused on all things data. ICPSR staff, ICPSR ORs,
and data producers come together online to train and inform. Watch for email
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/about/lists/icpsr-announce.html>

is in the works! Block your calendars and plan to make a visit to the
University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor in 2019. In addition to
beautiful fall foliage, you will enjoy immersion into delivering data
services, data management and curation, all things ICPSR, and a bounty of
networking. More information to come later this year!
A New Kind of Passport Coming: Improving Data Access and Confidentiality
Protection

A new report from a team led by ICPSR Director and U-M Professor Margaret
Levenstein, "The Researcher Passport: Improving Data Access and
Confidentiality Protection," details a new process to safeguard the
research community's access to and management of confidential data.
The Researcher
Credentialing for Restricted Data Access <http://bit.ly/2JuaruC> project,
funded by the the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, aims to increase the
willingness of data custodians to share data, and the ability of
researchers to undertake creative analyses, with the least possible risk to
privacy and confidentiality.
Make the Most Out of Your ICPSR Membership

Did you miss the webinar this past May titled, "Making the Most Out of your
ICPSR Membership <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5Xoh3xCf9Y&t=194s>" or
do you want a copy of the slides or recording? Visit ICPSR's YouTube
channel to relive the session. Find out why over 60 individuals attended

Spring into Summer Training on Delivering Data Services

Are you new to delivering data services like ICPSR to your institution or
wanting to learn new ways to accomplish it? Come to Ann Arbor the week of
July 30! Delivered by three experienced librarians, this course on
delivering data services
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/sumprog/courses/0041> is practical

globe who serve in this unique and important role.
Spring Clean Your ICPSR Membership!

Seasons pass. Time moves on. And your membership account gets outdated. We
encourage all ORs and DRs to take a quick look at the state of your
account. Have you *updated your IP range*? Your OR/DR contact information
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/membership/administration/institutions>
(click on your institution to see your contact names)? Reviewed your
utilization reports? All these cleaning tools can be found by visiting ICPSR's
Membership site
<http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/index.html> (select
Official Rep Tools) and using your OR/DR credentials to log in.
Visualize Your Institution's Usage!

ICPSR recently released a beta version of its improved utilization reports.
ORs and DRs will find these reports by logging into their MyData account
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/myData> and selecting "Report
Manager" from your MyData dashboard. Here, you will find graphical reports
of your institution's usage. Enhancements continue and the legacy
utilization reports
<https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/manage-membership.html>
remain available.
