Introduction to Gathering Found Data
Channel: RensselaerLibraries
Date: 2021-10-08

This introductory workshop covers finding data sets that already exist. This is a demonstration-driven low-barrier session that will enhance your data discovery skills and promote data literacy. We will use the library database, Statistical Abstract of the United States, to locate tables and understand the statistical data's source. The remainder of the workshop will focus on locating large datasets from selected web sources like data.gov and The World Bank Data Catalog. Presented by Metadata Librarian Brenden McCarthy.
