Finding Open Data (Webinar and Lab)

In the past decade, governments around the US have published hundreds of thousands of freely-available datasets on every topic imaginable.  This webinar demonstrates basic tools and tactics for finding data.  Participants will explore the federal open data catalog (data.gov) and several selected state open data portals searching for target data.  We'll also discuss open data practices and concepts, as well as tools for finding, storing, and managing data. Following the webinar, we'll have a 1-hour open lab where participants can explore their own state and local data portals with guidance and Q&A with the presenter.  No experience necessary.
