Registration

Why register?

Upon registering, you agree to the release statements regarding use of the data. This is important because it addresses issues of using the data with integrity and notifying us of work that is done with it. Not only does this help protect the stories of our narrators, but helps us to thrive as an organization that empowers people experiencing homelessness. We want as many people as possible to use this data. By sharing the work you have done with us, it may give others ideas on how they can utilize this information in their own communities to foster change.

Why do we want your personal information?

Your contact information will be kept confidential. We will not give or sell your information to anyone. You have an option of being added to our mailing list. If you choose to include your full address, Sisters Of The Road will keep you updated on the work we are doing, including research-oriented news, in the form of e-newsletters and mailings. There are several ways that your information is helpful to us. We would like to know your zip code at least so we have an idea of the geographical scope our research is reaching. Plus, knowing your affiliation and organization information helps us in obtaining statistics about who is using our research. This helps us to know if the outreach we are doing is successful as well as people or places we should focus more on reaching. The statistics we obtain also helps us a great deal when reporting to existing grant boards as well as applying for new grants.

What are the benefits of registering?

As a registrant you are given complete access to the research database. There are many ways you are able to submit queries of the database. You can search by key words, terms, phrases, demographic information and our coded categories and themes. When you log into our site you are able to save your searches/queries. This is a great benefit as you are able to keep track of searches that you have completed, as well as retrieve those past searches, even from previous log-ins. With registration you have the ability to export searches/queries into Word format, you can also print directly from the web browser. If you choose not to register your access will be limited to viewing and submitting white/working papers (documents created by people who have utilized the database and have given us permission to e-publish them) and use of data dictionary; (a list of terms and acronyms that may be unknown to users).
