Data Archive registration and licensing
To use data from the UK Data Archive you need to be legally registered. You must register each project for which you will be using data and all the datasets you will be using for each project.
The Data Archive is currently changing from ATHENS to Shibboleth Registration. For your ATHENS user name and password log on to 'LSE for you' on the LSE homepage and look under 'Library passwords'. For Shibboleth registration you will need your standard LSE username and password.
Registration
- Go to the Data Archive homepage
- Go to Login at the top right hand side of the page
- You will be asked to input your ATHENS username (LSE + the numbers above your ID cards barcode) and password (LSE + your Library PIN), or Shibboleth username and password (standard LSE login).
- If this is the first time you have logged on to the Data Archive you will be directed to the ESDS registration form.
- Fill in this form, click 'Submit'
- Read through the End User License and accept
- You will receive an email containing a URL which you should click and then your registration will be complete

- Enter your ATHENS details (or LSE username and password if redirected through Shibboleth) - this will take you to your account page

[You can find the SN of a dataset either by searching the Catalogue or checking the Major Studies page]
