We are thrilled to share that the National Endowment for the Humanities
(NEH) has awarded a $165,000 grant
<https://www.neh.gov/sites/default/files/inline-files/NEH-Grant-Awards-August-2019-PDF.pdf>
to a UC Berkeley-led team of legal experts, librarians, and scholars who
will help humanities researchers and staff navigate complex legal questions
in cutting-edge digital research.

The good news is that the NEH has agreed to support an Institute for
Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities
<https://www.neh.gov/grants/odh/institutes-advanced-topics-in-the-digital-humanities>
to help key stakeholders to learn to better navigate legal issues in text
data mining. Thanks to the NEH’s $165,000 grant, Rachael Samberg
<http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/scholarly-communication/about/team> of UC
Berkeley Library’s Office of Scholarly Communication Services will be
leading a national team (identified below) from more than a dozen
institutions and organizations to teach humanities researchers, librarians,
and research staff how to confidently navigate the major legal issues that
arise in text data mining research.

Our institute is aptly called *Building Legal Literacies for Text Data
Mining (Building LLTDM)*, and will run from June 23-26, 2020 in Berkeley,
California. Institute instructors are legal experts, humanities scholars,
and librarians immersed in text data mining research services, who will
co-lead experiential meeting sessions empowering participants to put the
curriculum’s concepts into action.
