Moving beyond the title: Evaluating the data you find

Join us for a webinar on Jun 17, 2020 at 1:00 PM EDT.

You've searched the catalog and found 4 studies that look promising for your project. How do you choose? The one that comes up first in the search results? The one with the most publications? Oops, one is restricted, now you're down to 3... This presentation will demonstrate how to use the information provided about each study to help choose the one that best fits your research needs. We will talk about some of the important metadata fields, the difference between restricted and public-use files, and how to use the codebook and online analysis tools to help evaluate what you've found in the context of your project.
