The fair will feature several of ICPSR's public access archives that are sustained by federal and foundation funding, our newest public access collection called openICPSR, efforts to share restricted-use data with the public, and sustainable training on using data in the classroom! The Data Fair is free and open to the public. <strong>Registration links to the webcasts are expected to be available in mid-September.</strong></p>

<p>ICPSR has updated its presentation workshop. It's effectively four presentations in one, enabling ORs to cater to audiences who are new to ICPSR, desiring to better understand how to find data, looking for training or instructional (teaching) resources on data and quantitative methods, or needing data management plan assistance (for grant proposals) to share research data. Feel free to copy/paste any of the slides into your training decks or use the presentation in its entirety! You can download the deck from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/ICPSR/understanding-icpsr-an-orientation-and-tours-of-icpsr-data-services-and-educational-resources">ICPSR's slideshare account</a> or from the <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/publications/index.html">member website</a> (see workshop materials table). Note that this presentation will be presented as part of the 2014 Data Fair in October.</p>

<p>Launched just last February, deposits of data into <a href="http://www.openicpsr.org/">openICPSR</a> (ICPSR's public access data collection) have heated up!

<p>ICPSR has spent many of the dog days of summer developing <a href="http://openicpsr.org/home/repository">openICPSR for Institutions and Journals</a>. This is a research data-sharing service developed specifically to meet the needs of universities, journals, research centers, and departments that desire a fully-hosted, economical, professionally-run, and trusted research data repository without the costs of technical staffing or IT hardware. More information will be coming soon on this service planned for launch in 2015. </p>
