ABOUT THE WEBINAR

With the digital revolution, the ability to search vast amounts of
information for specific bits of data has increased exponentially with
more and more previously hard-copy only books and information being
digitized and made available online. There are many organizations
working to digitize content for the benefit of researchers and others.
For example, HathiTrust is a partnership of organizations that offers
digitized information from libraries all over the world.  Data mining
partnerships between university libraries and vendors will hope to
bring millions of books and periodicals to the fingertips of
researchers.

In this webinar, presenters will talk about the benefits and
challenges to text mining and its impact on the library and
information community.
