[ICPSR] Summer Workshop: "Providing Social Science Data Services: Strategies for Design and Operation"

[Linda Detterman]

The ICPSR Summer Program would like to announce the following 2018 workshop:

*Providing Social Science Data Services: Strategies for Design and
Operation*

This five-day workshop is being offered to individuals who manage or
support local services for ICPSR and other research data for quantitative
analysis. Those who should attend include anyone who is new to providing
social science data services, who is seeking to revitalize an existing
service, or who is looking to refresh and expand on previous knowledge. We
believe that this workshop will also be useful to those outside the social
sciences who are responsible for providing access to research data in other
domains. An important component of this workshop will be the collaboration
and networking opportunities offered to the participants.

This workshop is organized around four data service areas: collections;
users; access; and preservation. This workshop will touch on the complete
research lifecycle. The structure of the workshop will rely on
presentations, participant collaborations, and hands-on exercises.
Fundamental topics are covered, including conducting a data reference
interview, searching for social science data, interpreting data
documentation, coping with various dissemination formats, accessing and
subsetting data, selecting and downloading ICPSR data, and using options
for local data delivery. Other topics will include managing your data
collection, service promotion, preservation, and sustainability. The final
day concludes at 1 p.m. with an exercise drawing upon the lessons learned
throughout the workshop that can be applied to your institution.

Note: This is not a course in statistical analysis and attendees are not
expected to know how to use statistical software.
