Case Study with John Walsh of HathiTrust

Description

The mission of the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is to provide tools, environments, and services for computational research on the content of the 17-million-volume HathiTrust Digital Library. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the Text Data Mining (TDM) activities and services provided by HTRC, with additional detail on two current initiatives, Scholar Curated Worksets for Analysis, Re-use, and Dissemination (SCWAReD), supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Tools for Open Research and Computation with HathiTrust: Leveraging Intelligent Text Extraction (TORCHLITE), supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
