This half-day workshop will introduce a researcher audience to the text data and computational tools of HathiTrust. HathiTrust operates a repository of over 17 million items digitized at a network of partner libraries. This massive collection of text is available for computational text mining primarily through the tools and services of the HathiTrust Research Center. Attendees of this workshop will gain hands-on experience with these data and tools in order to become more familiar with the opportunities for research HathiTrust makes available. The workshop will include: 

  • A characterization of the data available 
  • Hands-on activities with HTRC’s Extracted Features dataset and secure research environments

No experience is required, but prior exposure to text analysis concepts would be beneficial. Computers will be available for all attendees, but you may also bring your own laptop. 

Seats are limited. If you wish to attend, please register by February 19, 2020 using the link provided.
