HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is pleased to announce three virtual workshops taking place this spring. Each event will be a standalone workshop and no prior experience or attendance at other events is required. Similarly, though a familiarity with text and data mining and Python programming will be useful, no prior HTRC or programming experience is needed. HTRC workshops are open to all—no need to be affiliated with a HathiTrust member institution. The three workshops will be delivered over the course of the spring, each focused on individual services from HTRC:


* March 17, 1:00 Central / 2:00 Eastern - Intro to HathiTrust and HTRC: Attendees of this workshop will be introduced to the HathiTrust and HathiTrust Digital Library as well as the HTRC and its data and analytical tools, including hands-on practice with HTRC Analytics.

* March 31, 1:00 Central / 2:00 Eastern - Introduction to the HTRC Extracted Features Dataset: We’ll cover the motivation for its creation, the data model, and the kinds of research it enables, including a hands-on activity using the dataset, Google Colaboratory notebooks and Python code.

* April 15, 11:00 am Central / 12:00 pm Eastern – Introduction to HTRC Data Capsules: An introduction to the HTRC Data Capsules environment and how it can be used by intermediate and advanced researchers. This session will include a hands-on activity using an HTRC Data Capsule, Jupyter notebooks and Python code.
* Register: https://forms.gle/ZCiaDA8hcRvjy3FZ7

Each workshop has a duration of 2 hours, will be held live on Zoom, and workshop materials will be shared with registrants as the workshops approach. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us via [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or with me directly.

We hope to see you virtually this spring!

Best,
