2) Data Explorer Tool Released

NCES has recently released a new Data Explorer tool. The Data Explorer enables users to search for data tables, such as those that have appeared in First Look publications, IPEDS web table reports, and elsewhere. The tool also links to tables derived from the Trend Generator (https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/trendgenerator/). Future additions to the Data Explorer will include IPEDS-related tables and charts from the Digest of Education Statistics and the Condition of Education, IPEDS Brochures, Methodology Reports, and other sources. The Data Explorer is available from the IPEDS Use the Data page: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data
