Dear
Colleagues,
The
ICPSR Summer Program is offering three workshops this year
focused on data science and data services. Please click on the
course titles below for full descriptions and information on
enrolling.
· Assessing
and Mitigating Disclosure Risk: Essentials for Social
Science, July
30-August 3, 2012 (New
course)
This course will address ways researchers and data managers
can safeguard respondent confidentiality in shared data,
including public-use vs. restricted-use files, online analysis
systems with automatic disclosure protection controls, and
tools to assess and document disclosure risk.
· Providing
Social Science Data Services: Strategies for Design and
Operation, August
6-10, 2012
This workshop is structured around a five-stage data life
cycle model focused on data production, data dissemination,
repositories, discovery, and repurposing. Presentations on
data curation activities will be used to discuss local data
service issues, and computer exercises will demonstrate
service activities. The workshop is for individuals who manage
or support local services for ICPSR and other research data
for quantitative analysis, including anyone who is new to
providing social science data services or who is seeking to
revitalize an existing service. The information will also be
useful to those responsible for providing access to research
data in domains outside the social sciences.
All
courses and workshops will take place at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor.
