Help for the Holidays! (original) (raw)

As the academic terms draws to a close and help resources diminish for the next few weeks, we thought this an appropriate time to remind you of ICPSR’s Data User Help Center. The posted tutorials can resolve many common questions related to reading data into statistical software as well as resolving some frequent problems in getting set-up files to run in Windows and questions on establishing MyData accounts.

This online resource provides a variety of tutorials designed to help data users with using ICPSR data and related resources. Its overall goal is to provide data users with comprehensive answers, 24 hours a day/7days a week, to the most common problems they experience.

Moreover, the help center provides several media options to accommodate different learning styles including those who learn best by using video, audio, or print-out instructions. In addition, PowerPoint presentations of the tutorials are available for individuals who find it necessary to take groups through the tutorials.

Links to the Data User Help Center can be found under the Help tab and the Data tab on the ICPSR Web site.

Happy Holidays!
