Data Basics: An Introductory Text

This monograph emerged out of more than twenty years of teaching a one-week workshop at the Summer Program of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) housed at the University of Michigan. The ICPSR is a major international social science data archive and has provided access to research data since the 1960's. When the three authors were invited in 1990 to teach the introductory workshop on archival data services, they shifted the focus from archiving data, which the ICPSR does very well, to providing local data services on individual campuses, which at the time generally was not being taught anywhere. Instead of training new data archivists, their goal was to prepare librarians, academic staff, and computing specialists in the fundamentals of offering local social science data services.
