[LTER-im-rep] Fwd: One-question survey for the LTER education committee

[Margaret O'Brien]

Hi Reps -
Some of you are interested in the results of the 1-question survey:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11o9O-j_Zxjvm9U14q-38iX68L9TQJiF_nexgRAT1f8s/edit?pli=1#gid=0
There is a summary page with Y/N and a short qualification. Some sites went
out of their way to give a longer answer, or even data! For each of those,
the complete response is in a tab labeled for the site.

If I missed your answer (ie, your row is empty), consider this a
pre-emptive apology, and there is still time to resend!

Bottom line: 32% of sites track some aspects of downloads for educational
use; other info might be available anecdotally.

thanks - and see you next week!
Margaret

Hi IMs -
I am resending this one-question survey for the LTER education committee -
this group has not responded yet. The education committee would like an
idea of how much sites know of the usage of their data, before the ASM
You can reply to me over email, or just slack the answer if you want.

thanks -
Margaret

Hi IM-reps -
The education committee is planning some ASM sessions, and has this
one-question survey for the site IM reps.

Q: Does your site collect any info on dataset downloads for educational use?
Choose one:
Yes
No
Well, I'd like to qualify that...

If you answered "Y" or "qualify", please share what you know!
this can take any form: your impressions, anecdotes, or a download record.
See below for an example, from SBC

You can answer by replying just to me (please, not all!), and I'll collate
the answers for Alan et al.
Thanks -
Margaret


>From SBC's:
A: Yes, qualified

Additional info:  Our local catalog asks downloaders for an email address
and to state their use ("Education K12" is one of the choices; undergrad
education is not). It would take me a little while to assemble the data, so
I'll put that off until there is a more specific request. However, my
general impression is that the most often downloaded datasets for K12-use
are the kelp forest community time-series. We know that SBC datasets are
exposed thru other catalogs, too (EDI, DataONE, LTER), and as far as I
know, those catalogs do not keep track of what users do with the data.
