Virtual Seminar: Text and Data Mining Developing Policies and
Practices in a Changing Discovery Landscape

Date: Monday, March 21, 2016

Location: Virtual Seminar

Registration: http://bit.ly/1LCzGlf

====================================================================

What's Covered:

At a recent Association of Research Libraries event, Professor
Geoffrey Boulton of the University of Edinburgh indicated the most
critical areas of scientific practice - that is, text and data-mining
(TDM) practices - were in danger of being curtailed by content
providers' licensing agreements.

From the perspective of scientists, TDM is known as non-consumptive
research, a phrase coined originally by Google in the context of its
Google Books project. This means the electronic information resources
licensed by institutions are being used as a foundational test bed for
seeking patterns in data through the use of algorithms and similar
computational tools. Individual works, whether articles or books, are
neither examined (as in read) nor displayed.

While some content providers have developed policies and practices for
enabling this form of research, TDM represents an area of increasing
uncertainty for others, operating across a spectrum of scholarly and
research environments.

In this NFAIS Virtual Workshop, our distinguished set of presenters
will explore the nature of this fast-changing and increasingly
important discovery methodology.

Who should attend this NFAIS Virtual Workshop: scholarly researchers,
publishers, librarians, government officials, scholarly society and
foundation staff, information services consultants

Attendees of this Workshop will gain practical knowledge and understanding of:

• Where we are today with TDM

• Common TDM practices researchers are using in their research efforts

• What university libraries would like to see in their licensing
agreements in support of research efforts

• What services are emerging in support of TDM and whether third-party
services are helping make TDM easier and more efficient

Seminar Presenters:

• Mike Bucco, Senior Director, Product Management, EBSCO Publishing

• J. Stephen Downie, PhD, Professor and Associate Dean for Research,
Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

• Roy Kaufman, Managing Director, New Ventures, Copyright Clearance Center

• David Kosalt, Product Analyst, American Psychological Association
