Q: What is a favorite memory or instance you have working with ICPSR? What makes ICPSR a great place?
A: We were launching an event series at the University of Utah focused on all things research data management and data literacy, especially for students and folks in the humanities and social sciences. The folks at ICPSR were so supportive in helping us find ways to tie into their own programming and engage our students. We ended up having an ICPSR orientation session as the first event of the series and it was exciting to see how excited our attendees were about working with ICPSR datasets.
