Find Institution
find_institutionWhich institution is this? A name fragment or an IPEDS UNITID answers with the institution's identity, sector, identifiers with their sources, and how many programs, checklists, and learning units its published catalog holds here. A state lists that state's institutions by name; with no name and no state, the answer is the states that hold institutions, each with its count. Each row names its current FORM's wording source: source_url, capture_file, catalog_year and source_catalog_name are that one source's, never the record's whole span. A row whose record holds more than one form or more than one source also carries version_count, source_count, first_edition_seen and last_edition_seen, and one sentence saying so in words; a record with one form and one source carries none of them and reads exactly as it always has. The forms themselves, each with its own content and its own sources, come from the one-record get, never from a list. A record last seen in an older edition says so, because the Union keeps a record no current catalog prints.
