Faces of ICPSR: Elisabeth Shook
|
|
|
Meet Elisabeth Shook, Data Impact Librarian at ICPSR, who combines her love of research and problem-solving to uncover and analyze how ICPSR data is used across published and unpublished literature. Elisabeth is passionate about making data discovery easier for researchers while also finding joy in puzzles, spinning yarn, and exploring new ways to connect people with ICPSR’s data resources.

Q: What’s one ICPSR dataset you find fascinating, unusual, or you’ve had a hand in getting deposited?
A: The Bibliography is an intriguing collection of data in its own right. With over 120,000 citations collected, each using one or more curated ICPSR studies, there are a wealth of possibilities for analysis and insight. In fact, we recently made the entirety of the Bibliography citation collection available as a downloadable CSV and will update it regularly to provide researchers a way to explore the collection as data. You can explore the Bibliography dataset.
