Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser [github]
I believe I have created a repository of my HTRC Workset Browser code (shell
and Python scripts) on GitHub. [1] From the Quick Start section of the README:
1. Download the software putting the bin and etc directories in the same
directory.
2. Change to the directory where the bin and etc directories have been saved.
3. Build a collection by issuing the following command:
./bin/build-corpus.sh thoreau etc/rsync-thoreau.sh
If all goes well, the Browser will create a new directory named thoreau,
rsync a bunch o' JSON files from the HathiTrust to your computer, index
the JSON files, do some textual analysis against the corpus, create a
simple database ("catalog"), and create a few more reports. You can then
peruse the files in the newly created thoreau directory. If this worked,
then repeat the process for the other rsync files found in the etc
directory.
Probably the first issue people will have is the path to their version of
Python. (Sigh.)

Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser
Right. Which is why *someone* copied all of the Google digitized books to the Internet Archive -- someone not associated with the library partners. So generally if you cannot download from HT you can find the same scan via openlibrary.org. Unfortunately that doesn't help with using the tool that ELM has alerted us to. kc On 6/1/15 2:19 PM, Jimmy Ghaphery wrote: I think we are in agreement (especially about the utility of all things HathiTrust).

Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser
I know that Robert McDonald lurks around here -- so he could clarify this -- but what folks need to realize here is that the research center is providing tools that allow research access to materials within the hathitrust that are within the public domain. However, the digitized materials themselves, are not public domain any more (as I understand it). These materials, as I understand, are governed by the agreements institutions made as part of the google project. So, while the materials that the research center is currently providing access to are ones identified as within the public domain, access to the research center is curated due to those agreements. Robert or someone else can clarify if I've misspoken based on my understanding here. --tr -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of davesgonechina Sent: Monday, June 1, 2015 10:58 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser They just informed me I need a .edu address.

Re: [CODE4LIB] hathitrust research center workset browser
If your *institutional* email address is not on their whitelist (not sure if it is limited to subscribing ones, they don't say) you cannot register using the signup form, instead you can only request an account by briefly explaining why you want one. Weird, because they'd have potentially learned more about me if they just let me put my gmail address in the signup form. I don't get it - can all users download public domain content? If they give me an account, will I be indistinguishable from a subscribing institution? If not, why the extra hoops?

The HathiTrust proper is accessible to anybody, but the downloading of public domain content is only available to subscribing institutions. On the other hand, the “Workset Browser” is designed to work off the HathiTrust Research Center Portal, not the HathiTrust proper. The Portal is located at http://sharc.hathitrust.org From there anybody can search the collection of public domain content, create collections, and apply various algorithms against collections. One of the algorithms is “create RSYNC file” which, in turn, allows you to download bunches o’ metadata describing the items in your collection. (There is also a “download as MARC” algorithm.) This rsync file is the root of the Workset Browser. Feed the Browser a rsync file, and the Browser will mirror content locally, index it, and generate reports describing the collection.
