The HathiTrust Research Center offers training to develop a community of users, teachers, and supporters of computational text analysis with HathiTrust data.
HTRC has developed a virtual training program that it is offering during the COVID-19 pandemic. The virtual workshops translate the previous in-person workshops into an online environment. The workshop series is broken into four parts, and the series will be offered twice in fall 2021:
Registration Full - Series 1: Sept. 28, Oct. 12, Oct. 26, all 10 am - 12 pm E.T.
- Introduction to HTRC for text and data mining
- HTRC Extracted Features dataset
- HTRC Data Capsules environment
Registration Full - Series 2: Nov. 10, Nov. 17, Dec. 1, Dec. 8, all 3 - 5 pm E.T.
- Introduction to HTRC for text and data mining
- HTRC Extracted Features dataset
- HTRC Data Capsules environment
- Supporting text and data mining from the library
Each series offers 3 identical core workshops, and series 2 includes an additional librarians-only workshop on supporting text and data mining from the library. Attendees can mix-and-match between the series, and workshops are open to anyone interested--you do not need to be affiliated with a HathiTrust member institution.
HTRC Trainers Community
Librarians who attend each unique workshop from our virtual series, or who attended both days of our in-person training, are invited to join the HTRC Trainers Community. The community is composed of librarians from HathiTrust member organizations who are interested in teaching with and about HTRC tools and services. Learn more about the community.
