Do you use research strategies like text mining, social network analysis, data cleaning, or geocoding in your research? Do you have subject expertise in cataloging records, digital humanities, social media, or working with digital collections found in libraries, archives, or cultural heritage institutions? Are you curious about either?
In this two day hack-to-learn workshop, the Library of Congress, George Washington University Library, and George Mason University Library will join forces to demo research tools and provide data sets for hands-on exploration. You'll walk away with exposure to a variety of tools and techniques, a community of support, and an idea of the possibilities of collections as data. To provide the greatest opportunity to learn from each other, participants with a variety of skill levels with the tools, techniques, and collections are encouraged to apply here<https://library.gwu.edu/scholarly-technology-group/hack-learn>. Those selected will be notified by May 1st.
