Technical Support
If you have a problem connecting to the Warehouse, using the query tool
(e.g., creating a query and formatting results), or understanding University
data terminology, contact Data Administration.
Keeping up to Date
As resources permit, additional data collections will be added to the
University Data Warehouse. As the Warehouse continues to grow, stay abreast
of new developments through electronic mail from Data Warehouse and collection-related
listservs.
Listservs
Upon receiving access to the Data Warehouse, all users are automatically
subscribed to the ISC-WAREHOUSE. This electronic mail list announces the
inclusion of new collections in the Warehouse, changes in warehouse availability,
and other information of general interest.
Users of Data Warehouse collections are also automatically subscribed
to collection-related listservs (such as FINQUERY-WH, STUDENT-WH) which
announce changes to existing collections or inclusion of new elements,
as well as changes in refresh cycles and collection availability. List
members often discuss query methods and data questions via the lists as
well.
If you are not receiving e-mail concerning general issues about the Warehouse
or e-mail concerning a particular data collection, contact Data
Administration to be added to the distribution lists.
User Groups
Users of data collections in the Data Warehouse are periodically invited
to participate in group meetings to share experiences and questions review
data element usage. In addition, smaller special interest groups may be
formed to resolve specific collection-related issues. Warehouse users
will be invited to meetings via collection-specific listservs.
