Registration is open for the webinar “Understanding and Evaluating Governmental Data (U.S. and International)”. It will take place on Thursday, March 30, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM CDT.
Can we ensure that researchers and the public make informed decisions when using governmental data? Can data from different sources and agencies be used to build a more complete picture? James Church (University of California, Berkeley) will guide us into the world of international data. Bill Sermons (National Director of Research and Evaluation for Catholic Charities USA; Carnegie Mellon University) will discuss how a nonprofit makes use and sense of the data. Jill Blaemers will explain the challenges Sage DataPlanet faces in evaluating and making governmental data usable.
Register here.
