Title: ICPSR: A Partner in Social Research
Presenter(s): Lynette Hoelter
Description: ICPSR: A Partner in Social Research: As one of the world’s oldest and largest data archives for social and behavioral sciences, ICPSR strives to assist researchers throughout the lifecycle of their projects. Typically known for its catalog of almost 20,000 data collections for secondary analysis or the Summer Program in Quantitative Methods, ICPSR also provides resources for creating data management and sharing plans, tools to assist in primary research, and help in meeting federal data sharing requirements. This workshop will introduce (1) the variety of resources available, (2) the types of data in the catalog and how to access them (both public and restricted), and (3) the ways in which professional curation staff can add value in sharing and preserving your research data.
Presenter: Lynette Hoelter: Lynette is an archivist at ICPSR where she serves as director of Instructional Resources, the Consortium Social Sciences Archive, and the National Archive of Data on Arts and Culture (NADAC). Until recently, she also co-led the effort to support federal statistical agencies as they standardize the discovery and application processes for their restricted microdata (ResearchDataGov.org). Common across Lynette’s work is the desire to help individuals find, access, and use the data that best fit their needs and to foster quantitative literacy in students and others. Lynette has a Ph.D. in sociology from Penn State University.
