The goal of the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA) is to democratize access to quality data of all types, including religion data. In this presentation we will explore a number of free online tools and resources available through the ARDA. By the end, participants will be able to create a socio-demographic profile of their community using Census data in seconds, access profiles and data for over 200 nations around the world, and examine dozens of learning exercises that build students’ online data research skills. We will also share steps the ARDA is taking to make our data and resources even more user-friendly for librarians and post-secondary educators. Presented by Andrew Whitehead, Assistant Professor at Clemson University and Assistant Director at the ARDA. Learn more at https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/content/membership/datafair/schedule.html
