4/23 – Working with HathiTrust Data (GCDI workshop)

Has limited access to print publications got you down? Learn how to make
the most out of the Graduate Center’s membership in HathiTrust, a
not-for-profit collaborative of academic and research libraries that holds
17+ million digitized items. The GC’s membership status grants students,
faculty, and staff preferred access to advanced HathiTrust Research Center
computational services. Join us for this workshop to learn how to access
and make use of HathiTrust’s cloud-based research computing tools to
search, cluster, and analyze texts across the humanities and social
sciences. We will provide an overview of the interface for accessing and
analyzing HathiTrust’s collections. Participants will learn some basic
digital text analysis concepts and have a chance to begin their own
hands-on exploration of HathiTrust’s rich collection.

This workshop is free and open to all GC faculty, students, and staff, but
advance registration is required. Registered participants will receive an
email with a link to the online workshop room with a password one hour
before the start of the workshop. Visit our GCDI calendar to register at
least two hours prior to the event.
