ICPSR 2009: Real Data in a Virtual World

Please note this unique opportunity to learn more about ICPSR data and how to use it!

Welcome!

The 2009 ICPSR Biennial Official Representatives Meeting invites participation from researchers, librarians, teaching faculty, students, and policymakers from around the world who are interested in the use of social sciences data!

This FREE conference is hosted by ICPSR and due to its virtual nature in 2009, is open to everyone.

The theme of the 2009 meeting is "Real Data in a Virtual World" -- appropriate for the content discussed and its delivery! Starting on Monday, October 5 and running through Friday, October 9, ICPSR will deliver 20 sessions related to social science content, tools, quantitative training/literacy, and other resources associated with ICPSR and its partners. ICPSR staff will also host several live chats. The preliminary 2009 OR Meeting program has been posted.

Live sessions will be broadcast using GoToWebinar external link technology. This webinar technology requires no downloads to your computer and provides up to 1,000 "seats" per session. All sessions will be recorded and posted should you desire to view the presentations at a later date. And, still more pre-recorded tutorials and talks will be posted for clicking and viewing at your leisure. For more information on the virtual conference and how it will work, view our short, pre-recorded webinar "Orientation to the ICPSR Virtual Meeting." (WMV 8.1MB)

We look forward to meeting you online in October!
