  6. Introductions

  7. Who are you? Who are we? • Name, institutional affiliation, job title. • What is the status of data services at your institution? • What is your role? • Are you the ICPSR Official Representative or Designate OR?

  8. Our teaching style • We try to accommodate a mix of learning styles: something to hear, see, and do. • We invite discussion: don’t hesitate to ask questions or share an experience. • We’re a tag-team and share instruction time. • We have a lot of material to go through and have packaged this information for you to take for future reference. • Our Powerpoint slides will be available at 3stages.org.

  9. Our professional orientation • We teach from a service orientation, which underlies the ‘why-we-do’ and ‘what-we-do’ topics that we will be teaching • We are advocates of the open data access movement, which makes us strong supporters of data sharing and data preservation • We promote the development of a data culture to assist society in identifying and conducting informed public debates on major issues

  10. Our professional orientation • Access to data is an extension of our other professional interests • Libraries, but not just libraries • open (accessible and accountable) government, • privacy in the information age, • technology and social responsibility, • preserving our digital research heritage through data preservation, • statistical and data literacy, • knowledge transfer, and • other stuff

  11. Why do we teach this course? • We believe that we have an important message to share. • We enjoy meeting and working with professionals who have data services as part of their job responsibilities or who are merely interested in data. • We are excited by learning; and teaching this course has required us to be continuous learners. • We learn from the participants in this course.

  12. Today’s Agenda • Introduction: Designing Data Services for People • Big Picture: Data in Today’s Research Data Realities • Social Science Data: Where It Fits Into The Data Ecosystem • Introduce Research Lifecycle And Data Service Functions • Group Discussion and Exercise
