Call to action: Help write ICPSR’s (metadata) love note to the future!
We agree with historian, filmmaker, archivist, storyteller Jason Scott, who
said, "Metadata is a love note to the future

ICPSR provides detailed information (or "metadata") about our data
collections to help users discover, understand, and use materials. These
metadata, which include elements like title, principal investigators,
summary, and methodology, are displayed on the home page of each study and
are also made available as downloadable records.

ICPSR wants to ensure that these downloadable metadata records (sometimes
also referred to as "metadata exports") meet the needs of our user
community. To help us make improvements and prioritize new features, we
would like to learn:

   -

   If you and/or your organization currently download ICPSR metadata
   records.
   -

   How well our downloadable metadata records meet your and/or your
   organization's needs.
   -

   What functionality and file formats you and/or your organization prefer
   when downloading metadata records.

In only 5 minutes, you can help us with our (metadata) love note to the
future. Please share with other individuals in your organization, too! If
you have any questions, please email Mike Shallcross at shallcro at umich.edu

We sincerely appreciate your input!
