The Seton Hall Community is invited to the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research’s Data Fair, “Data In Real Life.” With all the unexpected twists and turns of 2020, the ICPSR Data Fair will provide a data lens on timely topics such as the elections, Black Lives Matter, the Census, higher education, immigration, COVID 19, and more. The Data Fair is September 21-25, 2020 and is entirely virtual and free to all. Learn more and register at https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/membership/datafair/schedule.html. There are excellent programs for faculty who may want to supplement their syllabi with programs across many disciplines such as:
Quantifying Gender Identities and Behaviors
Conceptualizing and Visualizing Conflict Data with Shiny

ICPSR
The Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) is an organization of member institutions based out of the University of Michigan working together to acquire and preserve social science data, to provide open and equitable access to these data, and to promote effective data use.
The ICPSR data archive and holdings encompass a range of disciplines, including political science, sociology, demography, economics, history, education, gerontology, criminal justice, public health, foreign policy, health and medical care, education, child care research, law, and substance abuse. Seton Hall faculty and students have access to over 15,000 studies and 5.6 million variables through the University Libraries’ subscription.
Data Services Group
University Libraries launched its Data Services Group in Fall 2019. Librarians and a Data Support Specialist are available to provide training in data management, specific tools like Stata, SPSS and R, Survey Research Methods for Qualtrics and Data Management for Seton Hall University students, faculty, staff, and administrators. For further information, please view the Data Services website. Part of the Data Service mission is to provide access to data sources including ICPSR.
