ICPSR Access and Support
ICPSR, the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research, is a non-profit, membership-based data archive located at the University of Michigan. The University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (UM-TC) membership allows students, staff, and faculty to access ICPSR data files and documentation for the purpose of academic research. The data available through ICPSR are raw, unanalyzed data which require statistical analysis. Individuals who are prepared to analyze raw data can download data themselves from the ICPSR web site. All other users should contact the Data Services Librarian for assistance.
Contacts
Each member institution has an Official Representative (OR) who is responsible for seeing that access to and use of data follows the ICPSR guidelines. The OR for the Twin Cities membership is Professor Joanne Miller, Political Science Department. Technical support questions should be directed to the Data Services Librarian.Data Use Tutorial
