Logging In
I've never logged in to DataShop before ...
... and I'm a Carnegie Mellon University student, staff, or faculty member
On DataShop's home page, click "Log in with WebISO". You will be asked to authenticate with WebISO, the CMU-standard authentication system. After authenticating with CMU, you will be asked to create a LearnLab account. Complete the LearnLab registration form to link your CMU identity with the DataShop system. Next time you log in, you will only need to authenticate with CMU (WebISO).
... and I'm NOT a Carnegie Mellon University student, staff, or faculty member
On DataShop's home page, click "Sign up now!". On the registration page, complete the form to create your DataShop account. While there are no requirements for your user name, your password must be 6-12 characters, and may contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens (spaces are not allowed). Your password cannot contain the account ID you've chosen. Passwords are case-sensitive. Your email address is important: we will use it to help you reset your password if you ever forget it.

Accessing Datasets
By default, you will have access to the public datasets. This allows you to explore the functionality of DataShop.
To gain access to new datasets, email us with your name, role, and the name of the dataset(s) that you'd like to access. If you're not the PI for the study, we'll confirm with him or her that you're authorized to view the requested dataset and email you when we've given you access.
