The ipeds_help function will return the data dictionary for the given year.

> View(ipeds_help(2018))

If the table parameter is specified, then the data dictionary for the given survey is returned (i.e. the variables in that table, see data(surveys) for the available survey IDs).

View(ipeds_help(table = 'HD', year = 2018))

Finally, to load a specific table, the ipeds_survey function will return a data.frame with the data.

> hd2018 <- ipeds_survey(table = 'HD', year = 2018)
> names(hd2018)
