SSDR site representatives
ESDS and Census.ac.uk have compiled a list of
local site representatives to whom ESDS and census data users can
turn for information about these services. These contacts are known as
Social Science Data Resources (SSDR) site representatives and act as
local key contacts for the following units: ESDS, Census.ac.uk and associated UK
census service providers.
What site representatives do for ESDS/Census services:
- test and provide feedback on new versions of the ESDS and Census.ac.uk systems
- disseminate literature appropriately about the services within their institutions
- help host social science and census workshops
- act as a port-of-call for social science data-related queries (to supplement the existing
ESDS and Census.ac.uk help desks)
In return site representatives will:
- be the first to hear about new developments from the ESDS and Census.ac.uk
- receive copies of UK Databytes
- have privileged access to free social science or census workshops
- receive pertinent user statistical information if required
- and, on request, be given ESDS and Census.ac.uk promotional materials for display in their local institution
A closed JISCmail list exists to facilitate effective communication
with and between the site representatives: SSDR-reps@jiscmail.ac.uk
An inaugural meeting
for the site representatives was held on 5 December 2003 at the Royal Statistical Society, London.
The latest meeting for site representatives took place on 13 February 2009: ESDS: What's in it for librarians.
