Abstract
A data inventory is a document/database that describes the data that an institution gathers: what data it collects, how and when it is collected, why and how it’s used, and where it is stored. In most cases, a data inventory is not a place to store the collected data itself, but rather to track information about the collected data. This workshop will show attendees how to create a data inventory and use it to encourage a culture of assessment in their institutions.
